Op Session #31 was held Saturday, 6/25/22. Hard to believe the railroad has hosted that many so far…
We were short on crew members, so the local trains, No’s 24 and 25, were annulled and the local work was combined with the coal extras.
One weird issue was a TCS WOW-Sound equipped Bachmann 2-6-0 dropped its sound after a brief short at a turnout, then regained it later after another brief short at mis-thrown turnout. The motor control was left intact, but no functions would work during this episode. This engine-decoder combo had previously been rock-solid, so I’m not sure what the issue is here. Power-cycling the engine did no good at the time, but after the decoder “came back to its senses” it seemed to work fine again. Will have to keep an eye on that one. Other than that, no other major problems ensued, and an enjoyable time was had by all.
