At last year’s Festival of Trees here in Atlanta, the NGLTC had a small 6’x6’
loop set up under our
tree display. I had originally thought that the festival would shut down the
power each night during the 9 day festival, thus giving the train a break, I
was wrong. The power stayed on 24 hours for 9 days, so our train ran the
entire time. On the last day it was running a bit slower but it was still
running. I think the joints on the couplers showed the most wear, other than
that it worked like a charm.

BayLTC is currently in the midst of a month-long display at a local history
museum that is running a special exhibit on trains. Since we are operating it
five days a week, much of that unattended except by museum docents, we set it up
on a timer which runs it during the museum hours, with a duty cycle of 20 minuts
on, 10 minutes off, to prevent overheating. It’ll be interesting to see what
shape the trains are in at the end of the exhibit, just the same.

| Distance? Doesn't every LTC have at least *one* Mindstorms little speed/distance computer, built into a train car? :-) Remember the PNLTC Guinness World Record event in 2000? I guess, from now on, we'll have to build up a car to measure the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jun-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
