N / automated running ?
May 02, 2007, 10:27:32 AM
hey all hope everyone is well today! I have a ? about aotomated running, this is what i want to do, i am building a layout now that will have a short section of stand alone track that runs from our pickle factory to the docks and our pickle princess( the boat that hauls pickles of course!) i will be using my B-mann MDT switcher, plus others probably, i run DC only and what i  want it to do is run down to the docks and stop and sit there for awhile ( like to be able to adjust that time ) and then run back to the factory and sit there, then run back to the docks ect. ect. and i want it all to do this aotomatically, is this doable and if so any ideas on how it can be done, any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

N / slow spectrum 2-8-0
April 26, 2007, 04:34:16 PM
Hi all am hopeing for some advice or help here, i just tried out my new 2-8-0 consolidation and it seems really slow to me, did not start to move until throttle was at around 40 and did not stay going until i was in the 50 plus range, i run an MRC 280 dual power and checked both output and track voltage and am right on with both, i have 6 other steam engines, all but one a bachmann so i do have some thing to compare to and they would all run circles around this one, even an old Atlas? switcher that has a bad gear in it! now i did not buy this one to win races with but like i said it does seem awful slow, any help would be nice, thanks.
