Works great on a couple of Marklin cabeese that I have.

It is on one of the cars or the loco? I can check to see if I have a replacement.

I showed up Friday before noon and got my modules setup and worked with the show staff on getting our tables and chairs Thu, 06 Jun 2013 04:04:22 GMT Lindley Ruddick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ZoCal/message/9191 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ZoCal/message/9191 So how did it go? Who showed up when? How many modules? I assume configuration 4. Any hi-lites or low-lites? Any feedback for the Ontario folks?
