First train on new layout
Author: dwatry

Ran the first train on my new layout on Thursday.  Started building in April, so I'm pretty happy to get to operation so fast!  Still have some more track to lay, and haven't even started on scenery or structures yet!

Great. Trouble is, running trains, is a big distraction from carrying on with the work,! I know.  Chris uk.

Chris is right to a degree but...the best way to get the bugs out of a new layout whether it be trackwork, wheel sets, locomotive performance or electrical is to flat out run the heck out of it.

It's always a great feeling to get those first trains running. Congratulations! Enjoy the process. For some reason, it feels like you might be a closet B & O guy...:-)

Looks good. I like the passenger train.
