[Accrs] It happened again

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Dean,
I haven't been to the club in a couple of weeks so it wasn't me but I 
have an opinion on this. 
This is negligent and could lead to  a fire or other problem not to 
mention higher utility bills.

It would be good to teach some of us O scalers how to shut down the HO 
side and visa versa.  If I were the
last one at the club I would have no idea where the switches were.   The 
HO people need to know how to
shut down the O scale side just in case it is left on as well.

As for the locks, I never knew that you wanted  them set to zero.  I 
always spin them randomly to make sure that the combination
is not showing, that is the main thing.

By the way the back lock is bad.  The wheels don't click which makes it 
very hard to unlock or to stay on zero once locked.
