well guys here come another year gone - scoobyloven - 11-24-2009
as most of the old timers here who knows me. that time of year is coming this sunday would keegen's 8th birthday i have got his train on the layout to make it's run.
i went to the fire safe i keep it in and opened it up last night "hasn't been opened in a year" and only thing i put in it was his train with the cars for it . i got everything out and on the desk and looking to make sure nothing was left in the safe . i find 8 little gold stars. so i put them into a pice of the rolling stock. and here is where it got to the point i had the wife see this. train on the rails in the new yard.
i turn to get a drink wife brought me and train started to move down the rails. at first i thought some one hit the power. so i looked power was off on this box. so as i made my way to the pc to see if any line was getting power the north bond train powerd down and moved to a siding . and keegen's train was still on it roll onto the north lines.i am at the pc looking at the power and the dcc controler. and my screen shows his train is in stand by. and all switches to his pass are closed and no power. all lights red. so flip main power and everything stops. i pull keegens train off replace dcc with a new one. and moved it back to the yard. well after all of that i go to the pc and all trains running as they should showing keegen's in stand by. and in keegen's pass all red lights.no other train enters keegen's pass but this unit. i get up and turn me back to get the phone and as i turn around i see his train on the move agin......
and all others come to a stop.i look at the dcc panel on my pc and it shows it is in stand by. so i am shaking by now so i let it go it makes it on to keegen's pass with all lights showing red and does 8 loops and returns. i pulled it off and pulled dcc and added it to other loco and it works fine. i went to keegen's pass this morning to finish a couple of lights i am adding in some buildings and their i find laying on the layout 8 more gold stars. and his train is now back in the yard and working as it should.
i had to tell him this morning that it was not funny to do that i thought i was going crazy. i told him his b-day is coming and it will run the whole day this year.
