Speaking of batteries - last Friday night I couldn't get the Lionchief
Chessie engine to run. Opened up the remote and one battery was leaking.
Cleaned it up, replaced the batteries and it ran like a champ. We really
need to pull all batteries out of all the remotes when everything goes
back in the trailer.

Tom, thanks for cleaning up my mess. I feel bad that I should have been able to fix it myself but good that I may be able to do it better the next time. Thanks for being a great safety net.

The screws we originally used were too short. I put ten 1 1/4" Kreg screws in. All good now...

Thanks for all your repairs Tom. What happened to the raffle layout frame?

Broken track section on the bridge has been replaced. The reinforcing frame for the raffle layout has been reattached.
There was a note left regarding DCS not working. The note indicated that the output fuses were blown. These are 20 amp fuses, our Z4000 is good 10 amps. Short circuit fault current might blow a fuse, but it is far more likely that the Z4000 breaker will trip first. I found and borrowed a PS2 Seaboard Hudson that was stored under the layout. The BAT message was displayed on the remote I used. The batteries were replaced, engine added, started, and ran on both the inner and outer loops. No problems. I very carefully repacked your locomotive and put it back where I found it.
