WRS Maintenance Department has been working on the railroad improving some of the issues that have a surfaced during the last few operating sessions.
After the issues with the Freight Agent in the last operating session, improvements have been made in how the paperwork is generated. The computer will do more of the work and the Freight Agent will do less.
The Loco Shop is still working with WRS 134, the switcher assigned to the Paper Mill. It has had a mind of its own lately, taking off on its own and not wanting to restart after being put in reverse. Not sure if the issue is with the loco, or the NCE decoder. Since another S4 with the same NCE decoder had the same issues at the Dartmouth Show and would clear itself if one set of wheels were lifted from the tracks.
The Planning Department has been busy working on the addition to the WRS. The Northern Division is also complete, except for a couple passing sidings and if a fourth track is required at the Northern Yard. The report from the Traffic & Operations Division on the requirements for the Northern Division should be competed soon. The work on the Southern Division will continue over the next month.

Hi Doug
Your first issue sounds like you are headed for Union Territory. More work for the computer and less for the paid staff but they still want the same pay.
Second issuemight be with the isolation of the moter. There coud be somethig that under the correwct conditions it will send a short through the motor leads. The othe rthing is to make sure CV 29 is se so the decoder can not see the track power as if it is operating on DC.
Good luck to seeing the new additions and maybe sometime in the new year our crew could pay a visit on a Sunday afternoo to operate.

I checked the CV's with Decoder Pro, and the analog was turned off. I did not do the decoder install on WRS 134, but I did do the other loco decoder install, can say the motor was insulated on that one. Now there maybe a short somewhere in the loco.
The Freight Agent was given a choice, get it right next time or find another line of work.
Operating session can be arranged.
