Good Morning All: <br /> <br />I have great news: The signal that DCC uses is a square sine wave, so I got to thinking - house voltage is a curved sine wave. Just a little differance but not much. I got this brilliant idea about Fergies loco not running to well. I hooked up all of the drivers and took the receptical off the extension cord and connected the wires directly to the track. When I plugged the cord into the wall, <font color="pink"><font size="6"><b>FERGIE</b></font id="size6"></font id="pink"> you should have seen that thing run - at least 4 feet. The whistle was blowing, the bell was ringing, the wheels were spinning, the chuff was unbelievable. It ran so fast that I thought it smoked my track but upon closer examination it was the loco that was smoking. It may need a new <font size="1">decoder</font id="size1">. I was very impressed with the performance of the loco, and the sound was awesome, it was so loud that Stephanie even came upstairs to see what happened. When I tried to get it to run again it just sat their, I think it was tired. I've boxed up what is left and am sending it to you. All of the parts are in the box, some assembly may be required. <br /> <br />Is anyone else interested in trackage rights on the Almost Nothing? <br /> <br />Luct: <br />How about a last name to go with Luc? <br /> <br />Lupo: <br />I think that the hat is pretty, it would go very well with my yellow polished silk <s>blouse</s> err shirt and black <s>tights</s> ah pants. <br /> <br />My elecrtical expertise is available for anyone wanting to know how to fix a problem. <br /> <br />Before my house gets the new paint job, i'm going to work <br /> <br />Ya'll have a blessed day and remember <b>PINK IS BEAUTIFUL</b> <br /> <br />Bob <br /> <br /> <br />I hope you had a many laughs reading this as I had writing it. May it make your day go easier.
