[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SandyR Capt., I have a confession to make...it's been unusually mild this winter...usually my railroad gets buried in at least a foot of snow in November, which then freezes and becomes an ever-deepening glacier until some time in March. But this January has been wild...temperatures in the 50's, and no snow. So I caved in, got out the old 2010 starter set engine, now 22 years old...all I did for preparation was pick up some debris from the track. I didn't clean the rails, just put Old Faithful on the track and turned up the power. It ran!! No problem. Three cheers for LGB track...it's completely black now, even the railheads. But the loco ran, and after a while, I began to reduce the power until it ran at a crawl. It never stalled. Two days later, another exceptionally warm day, so I ran a short train. And then I let the RR go back into hibernation. May 15 will be the 'official' date. Sorry I cheated!!! SandyR [/quote] Oh...don't worry. May 15 will be the day to have a special run for the "Start of the Season." By then all winters will have subsided and we can have a pagent of photos here on the forum. I look forward to it...
