I don't think they've ever been at York. 

Thanks for the replies, 

Richard,

They are not at york however one of their dealers is located in the orange hall.

Rod Miller

Aren't they owned by Lionel? Seems to me that Lionel bought out Jon Z a few years ago.

Any idea who the dealer might be?

Thanks,

Richard

Lionel owns ERR, but I don't think they've ever come to York.  I did see someone selling ERR stuff in the Orange Hall.

Here is the Link to the Milk Car installation:  http://www.electricrr.com/Manuals/LioMilkCar.pdf

What questions do you have?  I've done several and others here as well.

I just checked and I'm still sitting on one of these kits as well.

Jim

The dealer is All Aboard Trains.

Thanks Jim,

I am not clear how the voltage is regulated in order to adjust the action of the milk can as they are pushed out of the milk car.

Also I understand that a switch must be added in order to program the the TNCCC ID.

Thank

Richard

You don't have to have a switch, there is a little rain-dance you do that will set the TMCC ID without a physical jumper.

The voltage is set by configuring the Mini Commander output, that's all in the document.

Gee John,

Does one need to ware a head dress and buck skins when performing the rain dance??????

Richard

Thanks Rod,

Only if you want a lot of rain.

You can also program with a jumper before you put the car shell back on.  That way you can avoid the dance GunRunnerJohn mentions.  But if needed the dance music will still play in the future.

If you want to chat about it I will be at York (All the way from Utah!), and so will some shady John Will character in the Orange hall.  I'll stop by and say hi John.

Jim

I'll see you there Jim, you're coming a long way!  I'm making the leisurely drive from SE-PA, it's around two hours.

I was never enamored with the Soft Set as it doesn't always seem to take.  I like the positive effect of a jumper.  Actually, on a number of little units, I've just put a reed switch inside across the program pins.  A little magnet on the outside and I can configure without having to hack holes for a switch.  I typically stick the little magnet on the frame somewhere so I have it if I need to configure again.

Another recommendation is to add a real antenna, the little loop they have on the MC doesn't always generate a strong enough signal.

Wow Jim!

Utah,

And I thought that the 14 hour drive from Southwest Tennessee was bad!!

Maybe I will run into you there.

Richard 

Not driving.  That's for sure.

Adding TMCC to the Milk car does allow you to fling those cans anywhere on the layout....

I've always found the operating tracks to be a big bother.  Trying to get lined up exactly so the contacts work is always interesting, I don't know how people did it with the old post-war trains that didn't have good speed control.

There is a vendor in the Orange hall booth HH6 who has a complete line of Electric Railroad Products. Cary is his name who also does MTH repairs.

Thanks Ted,

I will be by there in the morning.

Richard

Electric Railroad is on vacation.
