Tonight’s Action: Working on Power District (PD) 3 being the RG main line from Denver to the Moffat Tunnel on Module 8+7
- BD-20 for T407 defective. Negative lead #2 to external LED failed – zero volts. Swapped for a new BD-20 and all is ok now.
- Replaced 4 x AAA batteries in CAB 02.
- Track cleaned with ACT-6006 on 6th April needed cleaning again. Used CRC-26 this time. We shall see.
- Ran the 3 test locos (2110; 3008; 5654) over T505 to T412. Ran ok after a fashion. I think the locos need more running in.
Action Problems:
- Wire T505
- Connect BD-20s to T504 & T503
- Connect turnouts group starting with P264 to control panel
- Check sticky power to P264 & P267
- Test UP/CBQ loop for freight running (passenger running requires significant changes in wiring) and run test trains on both the UP and DRGW trackage
On going Action:
- Clean small test circle track and commence formal running-in of locomotives
- Maybe Speed Match
- Wire track & turnouts from Winter Park to Bond to temp connections in the control panels
- When complete lay track from Bond to Craig and temporarily wire
- Lay all of the Grand Junction return loop tracks
