Program
Dave Bodnar is working on an incline for the O gauge layout at the VA Hospital that features a collection of ceramic houses. The interior light in the incline car will be illuminated with a LED powered by a capacitor discharge. The capacitor will be inductively charged at a station and will last until the return trip.
Dale mounted a freight container on a flat car. The container houses a cell phone battery and circuitry for flashing LED so as to function as the last car on the train.
