First Train Run!!!

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 9:44 AM

After almost a year of construction the first train, engine and two cars, ran across the installed 30 feet and 3 turnouts of trackage on the NY and Eastern, Northern Lights branchline. The DCC decoder equipped engine even had a working headlight! The successful test run (in spite of a few track and wiring glitches ) has fueled my desire to continue construction and get those kits built and more decoders installed!

Sure feels good to see something operating,
