OK, I've just finished reformatting that Mikado Troubleshooting web page I wrote years ago and it's now a PDF, available to download on the AZL Documents page here: www.americanzline.com/tech/documents/Again this was a good catch Frank, thank you! John, Raildig

LOL, it's either Café Bustelo or Pilon for me. 2 big scoops and 7oz water... not that I'm picky about such things. Just got back in and it's back to the reassembling that Mikado PDF...

Just working on this tonight, the Mikado Troubleshooting document. I was going to pop it on my USZ site as a page there but I'm going to make it a standalone PDF to make it more easily available for other dealers to use, and directly to users as well... this way it's a bit easier to pass around and share. I got this info originally from Rob at Ztrack and think it should then be easily accessible online and offline. Bit of coffee and typing and I'll have it done tonight. Hmmm, coffee really does seem to be at the heart of almost everything I do.

I have a heavyweight and can try to remember to check later tonight. In the meantime, it might be nice to know what exactly is the issue here- not sure why you're considering to add weight to the tender as they usually have decent electrical pickup. Also - I've bookmarked an old US Z Scale Cubbin special page on Mikado troubleshooting - this page should be a technical document in the AZL troubleshooting pages .... web.archive.org/web/20181011163336/https://www.us-zscale.com/articles/azl-mikado-troubleshooting (US Z Scale via Wayback Machine) Hi Frank, When I upgraded my site software due to a glitchy web host a few years back, some bits got left out. Thanks very much for highlighting this Mikado article... great catch! I'm going to pull this material off Wayback and would like to make it live again as I think it's very helpful info for a great locomotive. And yeah, as much as I love good web hosting companies, others are almost comical in their poor customer service. Man, I could have a roundtable about that... LOL. Anyway just wanted to say thank you Frank, much appreciated! John

That's the old Black Friday spirit... LOL. You defintiely want to stay on that Santa's Nice List. I think I got movie-poster inspired there! Dear art directors at American Z Line, Haddon Sundblom illustrations is preferred for imagery of Santa. Guy you have depicted in the banner for Week Six scared thuh B’jesus outta me. … An’ I didn’t get underwear for Christmas. Let the SD45s roll. Best, Scott

Aside from the obvious of looking great... it really makes a beautiful sound!

I think once I get one of these new Daylights, it'd be fun for me to revisit this diorama and build a successor to it! A pair of pics of the way the lower track looked before I added the snow. I remember liking this sort of spooky look and being torn on adding the snow at all! John Attachments:
