Pulled out my Harbor Freight air eraser (model #69277) to start weathering a few cars. Cool tool EXCEPT the tip clogs on average about every 5-10 seconds so I spend more time removing it and blowing it out than erasing.  Despite that it puts a nice effect on lettering. I’ve been using HF air eraser compound with decent results. Would like to try baking soda too.

For those interested. Digitrax is back in the shipping business which is great news. the business and a lot of the employees took a big hit from the hurricane that hit the Panama City area. Probably too late for that Christmas gift but if you need something show them your support.

I just hooked up my second booster to a PSX 3 place board. Two work as expected, but the third one shorts out when the red feeder is connected anywhere on that district. I've had built all of my turnouts (fastracks) and checked all frogs and PC tie gaps, all are as they should be. I also checked all the drops to the buss for crossconnections and they are also OK? The district is a 35' long yard with over 20 switches. What should I check next? I unplugged all the freeders from the buss and replugged in the green side, no short on the PSX, naturally.

Check out the Extreme Trains running at the  Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado on Ken Patterson's Dec 17, 2018 podcast. Running 11 locomotives and 283 cars for a complete trip around the layout must have been fun. Rob I think you have some catching up to do.
