I recently purchased a Broadway Limited Paragon 4 switcher for use on the OASIS District layout as well as my other model railway layouts. I am really excited about this loco, and I'm impressed with its performance. The capacitor-equipped loco works great on the layout and helps to navigate those glitchy track sections that creep up from time to time. I tested out the loco without cleaning the track and it worked amazingly well, although a couple of stalls occurred where the dirt buildup was a bit to large for the capacitor to carry the locomotive through the dirty section. A quick polish of the rails with a Brightboy did the trick and the loco runs beautifully on the entire layout, including the new shelf extension. This is definitely a game-changer for operating the layout. I will be acquiring more capacitor-equipped locos in the future.
I look forward to working on the new extension coming up in September with a new backdrop and fascia board panels on the "to-do" list first.
Until next time,
Tom
