Thanks guys for your interest. The arrival in Seattle now looks to be timed for the I Hobby Expo at Rosemont since Mr. Kato of Kato will be here and he's really expressed an interest in this feat. So the locomotives will probably be pulled from service a mile or so short of their goal so a real ceremonial entrance into Seattle can be staged. The normal routine at MSI is for about ten hours of non-stop running, from the time the master switch is turned on in the am and off in the pm. Because too much lubrication attracts dirt and you'd be surprised how dirty the environment is at MSI; we've lengthened the intervals. The trio just finished 26 straight days tonight since their last servicing which included truck rebuilding and new motor brushes. They were removed from the layout for five days then. About a week ago, all locomotives out on the layout were lubed with a conducta product while in service. Trains were stopped and serviced one by one passing the servicing location. Wheel cleaning occurs more often of course, but again, its done inservice. David Harrison
