Rtraincollector, Good luck with finding the short. The passenger cars are 18"? What radius curves will you run them on? Alfred

rtraincollector, Good news that you got the 402E running. Sounds like progress towards a positive outcome. Alfred just noticed this, it's a 408E not a 402, they do look a lot alike, but there are differences. 1) big one Lionel didn't do a apple green 402. Thanks for the positive comment anyway. The apple green passenger cars will be here tomorrow

Rtraincollector, Thanks for letting me know; I certainly could not tell the differnce between a 408 and 402. Alfred

My order of small items has arrived. I have mounted the reproduction F3 diesel horn on a small wooden platform and fastened tin metal strips for the “D” battery contacts. The set up is place in a barn structure (on the West side of the layout) and wired to a Lionel 96C push-button switch placed near the transformers, so I can use it independently. I will adjust the diaphragm to give a deeper sound, to distinguish it from a 2023 horn that operates automatically on a contactor on the North Track. Alfred

Just bought a MTH 260e with Protosounds 2 on Ebay, have had fun running it all weekend. First new acquisition on the year, searched for it for a year, payed for it with a raffle I won in January.
