<p>Good Afternoon!</p> <p>Chloe, coffee and a slice of that deliciously looking pie - whatever it is, please!</p> <p>Nothing to report today. It´s one of those days with nothing really happening. Looking back the last few months, that´s actually good news! I did some tweaking of that 6-axle boxcab electric, which has not been performing to well on my layout. I don´t really know what I did and what it was supposed to effect, but the loco now runs a little better. There is still a glitch in her gitalong, but that will be taken care of by installing a few more feeders and a new power pack/controller. The Kato power pack I have is a heap of expensive crap and has not enough oomph to it to power that dual motor loco wih two amps eating 3-pole motors in it. So I will have to save a 6 weeks worth of no smoking money to get a more powerful power pack and controller, which will give me the feel of a DCC control, albeit for single loco. There is a German company making one which incorporates individually adjustable speed tables and momentum - the Rolls Royce among DC controllers! It´s "only" 130 bucks - [sigh]</p> <p>Other than that, I have been watching some rather informative videos on youtube about the new "tiny house" movement in the US. Quite interesting! If I were single (and I will be if Petra does not stop smoking [:(!]), that would be the way to go for me. If you don´t like where you are, simply hitch your house to your truck and move it to a better place! Not a bad thought!</p> <p>angelob - I am sorry to hear about your certainly not satisfying situation. I am sure there will be better times coming, just hang in there! There may not be much we can actually do to improve your situation, but we can listen and we care!</p> <p>Still no word from Galaxy - I just hope he is caught up by moving out the old and into the new house!</p> <p>Have a good one!</p> <p> </p>
