Crisp and clean with no caffeine. . .

If you remember "Big Daddy Kane" from the late 80's - early 90's you'll remember the line, "Crisp and clean with no caffeine", from his song, "I get the job done."

Well, I found out today that if you want to run DCC, you'll need to keep clean track and wheels. I took my SD40 over to the club today. I have run it a few times before but found out today that the wheels need cleaning. I kept loosing the DCC signal so the engine kept starting and stopping. I took a look at the wheels and they were quite dirty. I did get to hang out with Bob Grech and run the mainline so that was fun. You can see the photos of the run below. Bob was kind enough to weather a steam era boxcar for me. He did a great job - you can see the boxcar in the second photo.

I still haven't received my materials from InternetTrains.com so I'm on hold right now for my layout.

Have a great weekend!

Peace,
