Mailbag time again!
A couple of things in this mix that took so long to get here that I almost forgot about them.
Hopefully I didn't accidentally re-order...

In my ongoing quest to get my long dormant layout back into operation, I discovered that this locomotive had a weird old (and probably cheap) decoder in it.
So I replaced it with one that doesn't need the command station to be in a non-standard mode.

As with all of my videos, this isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I do it.

Today I'm tinkering with the LCD display that I pulled out of the remote control unit I tore apart last week.
It was surprisingly easy to get it talking to my Arduino with the help of some libraries and some beginner level code.
