Note: I've done all I can to proofread and test these pages, but by now they all seem to run together in my mind. If you find any errors or problems, please let me know as quick as possible. Jerry may be adding to it from time to time, plus we'll be posting an article from A-Train in a couple of weeks on installing an updated main control and accompanying parts. Stay tuned!
