New Video: Track and Wiring Tweaks, 2

 I just posted the second of three videos in my Track and Wiring Tweaks series to my CVSNE YouTube channel. 

In this video I take a closer look at a turnout in Richford yard - what looked "in the heat of battle" (ie., during the operating session!) to be a tight gauge in the turnout that was causing the S-4 switcher to get "pinched" and stuck on the turnout. 

Checking the turnout and the locomotive with a gauge confirmed the gauge was not the issue. That particular locomotive needs it's decoder tuned a bit the track issue was easily corrected.

New Video - Track and Wiring Tweaks: 1

 I've uploaded a new video to my "CVSNE" YouTube channel detailing the process I went through troubleshooting and ultimately replacing a cantankerous turnout in my town of Berkshire. 

This is hardly in danger of winning any Academy Awards, but you might find something useful. 

You can find the video HERE

This is the first video showing how I'm going about correcting the issues we identified on the layout during Operating Session #1.
