Craig,

Another wonderful job on Hollis.  I love the different elevations and the overall rundown look of the structure.

I received my Flux Mill kit yesterday from KC's Workshop and will start it sometime soon.

Thanks for the inspiration!!

Lynn,

It looks to me like you can simply remove the screw holding the broken coupler cover, then replace it with a coupler of your choice.

Jeff,

I love cars with loads too.  You've done a wonderful job.

I had to include a couple of mine too.  Maybe others will join in.

Thanks John & Bob,

I will try your suggestions.  I am VERY close.  The LED I'm working with is the lower signal on a 2 head searchlight model.  I have already gotten it to light yellow, but its when the switch is lined for the main.  I, of course, want it to light yellow when lined for the siding.  I've tried reversing wires to no avail. 

I will keep forging ahead.

Hello all,

I got into a project to try to light a bi-color LED yellow simply by using the contacts on a Tortoise switch machine.  I've succeeded with the help of a friend, but the yellow LED lights when the turnout is lined for the main track instead of the passing siding.  I've tried several variations of re-wiring to get it to light yellow for the siding, but no luck.

Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated.

John,

Great to see you getting your grandson interested in the layout.  Hopefully he will continue to enjoy running grandpa's trains.
