Hallo aus den Staaten

Viele dank Peter.

When I was a young boy, I lived in Wiesbaden, Germany for several years as a dependent in the late 1960's while my father was serving in the US Air Force at the time.

At that time I visited most of the Western European NATO countries and also Switzerland, but I didn't take the trains.

I also went to elementary school and learned German very well. Unfortunately, when I returned to the States I had no one to speak German with and forgot most of what I had learned over the years.

I've tried to learn German again, but it's difficult and I don't speak German well.

Viele dank aad.

I discovered a problem with a Roco loco related to my new Allegra.

During the operation of ÖBB 1014, the carriage lights flicker in all three units. The headlights don't flicker. The wagon lights only flicker when the ÖBB 1014 is running. No other locomotive affects the lighting.

The lights in my TRIX wagons also remain constant without flickering while this locomotive is running.

What could happen to that one locomotive that makes the car lights flicker in the Allegra cars?

Yesterday I installed five more catenary masts and the catenary on the layout.

I used to only drive the RhB ABe 4/4 III in one direction because the catenary ended at the exit of the snow hut. With the pantographs up, the locomotive could not go onto the cable traveling in the opposite direction without the pantograph snagging on the snow shed roof.

I fixed that and extended the catenary around the back corner and then twisted up the wire at the end of the track to allow the pantograph to slide under the wire.

Now I can complete the scenery in that corner and run Allegra in both directions as well as ABe 4/4 III.

Good Morning. This morning I ordered a Loksound 5 Micro, two 23mm speakers and the Loksound Programmer.

The workshop should program the decoder for the Allegra, but the programmer should load a different sound file onto my PIKO Br.232 Ludmilla. It is a greatly improved program for the Br.232 model.

Außerdem kann ich damit ein Beleuchtungsproblem beheben, das ich mit dem Steuerwagen meines ÖBB-CityShuttle-Wendewagens habe.

Kann sich jemand in Beitrag #27 vorstellen, was dieses Problem verursachen könnte?

Nein, ich stelle sicher, dass das ausgeschaltet ist, wenn ich eine neue Lok bekomme. Ich werde es aber noch einmal überprüfen. Danke Sie.
