A couple quickies to fill in some spots at the club.

Hi, everyone,

this is the first time I use this forum so bear with me pls...I have a small HO layout with dc control. I dont think I need dcc just yet although this may change if i can't fix this problem.  My problem is with one of my loco, an Athearn GP7. When I place it on the track and run it she starts fine but within approximately 5 to 6 ft she gradually slows down and comes to a stop. when that happens I have to shut everything down and wait a while before she'll run again.

Any Idea/help would be appreciated.

I'm installing switches, track and ground throws in Angela's Landing.  I keep getting out more tools.  It's amazing how many we accumulate.  How many can you count in the photo below?

Here is a FB post from Just Trains in Concord, California (in the greater SF Bay Area) -  They were burglarized early Wednesday morning and at least 12 brass locomotives were stolen. Please be on the lookout for these items showing up for sale on the web, especially e-Bay.  Please pass this on.
