Finally, all the pieces are coming together. I put together an eight car freight, switching at about 10-15 mph with a P2K GP18. After the train was assembled, I put a P2K F3 on the front end and eased it out of town. Everything ran the way I wanted and the train looked right!

Yes, I found a couple of bad order cars but it did not take away the thrill of seeing that all the work from the last year is finally starting to pay off!

Thanks for listening! [:D]

I know what you mean about finnally be able to run a smooth train. I've had a layotu for a few years but the trackwork wasn't layed right when I first did it. I've been slowly working out all the bugs and I finally got her running smooth. It's a Fabulous feeliing.
