Since I can’t get out and run mine very easily,
I put her up on rollers and let it run a while.
Still noisy, but I’ll give it some more break-in, both forward and reverse.
Geoff,
I’m here and busy. The last few weeks I have been working on a project which I had given up five years ago. I’m almost done and am beginning to think that was a good decision (giving it up).
So, I am not saying what is is, but there were three of them, one is almost finished and the other two still have some extensive modeling to have done.
It is still running over 100 degrees, but they are trying to forecast something cooler.
I am still holding one loco for you, aren’t I?

yes you still are holding one for me. will have to get it in the spring. might have to have you ship it to dave to make it batt power. even the best of us have to go to the dark side every now and then.
And I thought I was going to the “dark side” when I powered the layout!
Duct tape is kind of like The Force; it has a light side and a dark side and holds the universe together. May the duct tape always be with you.
We know, Steve.
It’s good for couplers as well, isn’t it?
Works great when trying to stick an Aristo onto a Kadee. 
:lol: Or, when Botchmann makes cars with couplers at different heights.
