Ross Club meeting.

Only 3 members arrived but got a couple of good videos:

GN W-1 electric freight drag with 'open loads' at Tye:

The 'open loads' cars belong to Mark.

UP big boy freight drag meeting GN W-1 electric at Havre:

Nate 'ran' the big boy.

====================

Did some 'track cleaning' before the Ross club arrived.

As usual, I used the PRR GG-1 to test the 'layout' before anyone arrives but it just 'sat there'.

Turned the engine on it's back and the wheels were filthy.

Cleaned the wheels and then, decided to clean the track with my 2 track cleaning cars.

I find it best to just clean and soak the 'pads' in lacquer thinner about every 50' of 'track running'.

The pads get pretty 'skuzzy'.

Soak and clean them after every 50' of 'track running'.

Went 'East and West' twice.
