Reply to "Blackwater Canyon Line - April 2, 2025, Brick Street Extension Planning"

Mark - brilliant way to get a direction change on your engine(s). 

I am combining switch operators so I don't have to worry about switching both ends of a line. I have one switch operating 4 DZ switches on a Ross crossover works fine. Just have to make sure I am using the same DZ motor and operator. 

Also - SO EXCITED - I picked up an MTH Milwaukee Road EP2 PS2 to go with my Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Passenger Set - yeah I know the time periods are wrong - but C'est La Vie. It is a really nice runner. So a long story really short - take the time to watch this incredible video - this guy apparently has won academy awards for cinematography and shot this video of his layout   https://www.youtube.com/watch?...11&v=liGxckhiLek 

Anyway - with a little research discovered the Milwaukee Road ran out to the west coast and the electrics of the day allowed them to move through long tunnels without gassing people to death,   

I'll post a few videos after I get all that wiring straightened out.

Also thanks to all who replied on the oiling question, my fine tip needle oilers arrived today. 

Jeff
