Railroad Running Well

Primarily on the efforts of David James, the Paducah & Lake Erie is running well. David was here a short time last weekend, and again for two days here at the end of the week. The major issues we got accomplished were (1) adding leads from the ramp leading from the helix -- not a lot of fun, but necessary, (2) adding leads to power Attica Yard and the passing siding on the lower level, and (3) adding decoders to several engines. Yes, David even taught me, kinda, how to install decoders. The primary thing I learned is that if you've seen the inside of one engine ... you've seen the inside of one engine. We pulled five of them apart, and NOT ONE of them was like any of the others. But in the final analysis, all the engines with decoders are running well, everywhere on the railroad. It's just about time to start on some of the fun parts, i.e., building something besides track! More later, and soon!
