First, the signal source impedance has been made much lower, resulting in less signal attenuation due to the very heavy loads placed upon the base by layouts with extensive track mileage. As an example, the output of a Legacy base will drop about 45% with major waveform ...

I'm a STRAIGHT Democratic voter and I like MTH's loco and now Lionel's caboose. Dart target-- NO, Jackie Kennedy's paint scheme looks far too nice on those pieces. besides, the locomotive DOES have a prototype and it looks nice too. Anyway, George H.W.

Electrical Tape Dispenser | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum
Good tape, Scotch 33+ or 88, you can back-roll the tape, off the provided roll. The smaller back-rolled tape, with the sticky exposed, works well for most applications. IMO, Mike CT. A quick pull, at the end of the tape job, or a cut, with a utility knife works.

My first Lionel train, a 224 set received in 1947, saw some heavy mileage on the 4 x 8 layout. The motor needed repairing sometime around 1953 or 54, the pick-up rollers developed great grooves and one stopped rolling, so both were replaced.
