[Accrs-ho] Do You Need Help?

Hi Dean:

This is Lee.  I need an assist in consisting, as I've forgotten how to consist more than one locomotive, and to clear the consist at the end of a session.  Any help in that would be appreciated.

Hi Dean,


That is a great suggestion.
How about incorporating some sessions into our Friday gatherings?

Members,



This is probably directed more towards the newer members, but it can 

apply to anyone.



I am sorry that I haven't been able to be at  the club for several 

sessions, as I was hoping to provide assistance to those that received 

some Christmas goodies and needed help setting up their new found equipment.



Are any of you interested in a couple hour clinic on basics, more 

advanced and advanced stuff and setting up and/or repairing new or 

existing equipment?



My thoughts were to discuss things from replacing wheel sets and 

couplers to basic programming of decoders.  What do you do when the 

trucks fall of  a car and you can't find the pin or screw that secured 

them.  All sorts of tricks I have learned in my many years of modeling.



Here is an example:



I recently was working with and 89' TOFC flat car.  It appeared to be 

warped.  I thought it contained a piece of flat steel that needed to be 

bent slighly to get the end down to the proper level.   Wrong.   The 

piece of metal was a cast type of metal and I completely snapped the 

entire car in half when trying to bend it.  .  Oh #@%&#@, now what to 

do.   Well, to make a long story short, it is repaired and will be back 

in service.   It will always have to carry a couple of trailers to hid 

part of the repair, but it should give good service.  These kinds of 

situations you learn from over time.



I can help you with any problem you may have encountered and we can 

figure out a repair or ???? what ever needs to be done.   We can 

discusss tools and parts you should start collectiing, ie, screws, 

drills, etc.  I can bring all sorts of examples.



Anyone interested in such a clinic.    Let me know.



You can reply directly to me at    lewis2 at earthlink.net     if you wish 

or just reply to this e-mail.



Dean
