The March edition of Track Talk Live saw MRA’s Doug Hodgdon and Steve Doyle fielding a wide range of model railing topics in various scales. How to keep tracks clean, preferences in building lift-outs or swing gates, leaving gaps in track sections versus soldering joints, adding smoke to steamers, and several questions about getting started with a layout design kept Clickety and Clack on their toes!
On another occasion I asked a similar question about using pastels to weather engines and could pastel dust cause problems to engine parts.You guys gave me a terrific answer, stating, in general, pastels are not too dangerous to equipment. However, my updated question is; can pastel dust cause problems with the electronics, especially chips and boards used in DCS and DCC environments. In the old PFM sound days, most things were analog, e.g., wires and pots, etc., and we were not as concerned. Love what you guys are doing. Thank you, Lou
