[quote user="IVRW"]Also recently, I have been thinking of taking out a section of track, and I will proceed to do so unless my dad says no. While all of that is going on, I have been trying to troubleshoot electrical problems. On that matter, do any of you know if very dirty track can cause shorts?[/quote] Heheh...I have quite a lot of experience with taking out track to re-lay it... Dirty track will not cause shorts. It will cause the locomotives to lose power and stop. Trust me: my track used to be extremely dirty before I covered the ceiling with plastic sheeting, and the only shorts I had was when my amazing track derailed the trains or my locomotives picked the point.Anyway, back in the modern smooth-running WRS, I've been programming <a href="http://sites.google.com/a/trahans.net/wrs/blog/newdispatchingprogram" mce_href="http://sites.google.com/a/trahans.net/wrs/blog/newdispatchingprogram">my own software to dispatch trains</a>! If it wasn't just a digital magnet board where the track sections changed colors when you clicked on them, I'd put it online so you could all try your hand at dispatching my railroad!
