I used the urban underpass trick on mine.


But now I have to re-think that as I've added a wye junction at that spot and the main street Merchant's Row has been displaced...


Really cool layout, Eric.  Thanks for joining us.

Wait! Hold up!

You need a decoder with the plungers? I think I have one that I'll happily make yours for a song.

I actually got that decoder running. It does indeed have an F2 function and I was able to wire up the marker lights correctly.

As luck would have it, I have ANOTHER early IM F7 that needs a decoder, so I'll gladly take yours off your hands. What do you want for it?

Would trimming the post on the exhaust stack (inserted into the shell) to be flush with the inner shell surface solve the problem? You might also have to glue it to the shell so it doesn't pop out.

Yes.  That's what I did.
Covered here in this comprehensive repair doc in case anyone can use it.

You are right. That is the only way to solve the problem.

Thanks.
