Well, guys and gals, I just cranked up the power to my little railroad empire and everything seems to be working alright. It's a small switching layout (12" x 72") serving a couple of industries on the edge of town. I've cleaned the track, and my little LifeLike 0-6-0 saddle tank pulls and pushes multiple cars through all the turnouts with no mishaps so far. The engine stalls at one or two places on the layout, and I haven't discovered why as yet.
This is my first modelling effort in over 40 years and I am quite pleased at getting everything up and running this week. After I closely inspect the track for those stall points, then comes some cinder for the yard, scenery and buildings. (heh heh ... Do I sound like an excited little kid?)![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
