'My true love gave to me', a Gaugemaster!! Great wife, eh? I gotta wait 'till X-mas before I can open it, though!
Lucky guy. Did you give her a list, or did she find out by herself that you needed a Gaugemaster? And how did you find out?
It's just standard. She asked me why I don't ever run train's on that train of mine. So I say's I need one of these, and showed her a pic of one! 3 days later, it was on the doorstep!!
BoxcabE50, it is used with analog equipment. It gives a electronic nudge to the loco if it senses a break in contact with wheels to the track therefore eleiminating stalls. They do work very well. I have two on my permanent layout. I highly recomend them.
I have 2 also. They can make some of the most finicky of locos run well at slower speeds. When we run DC at shows, we use gaugemasters, so everything runs good. Even used it with the new GP35 to make sure everything keeps running well. -Robert
