Lee,
Well it could be worse. My EBT prototype locos are still in pieces in the boxes, although I can run a model of M-1. I need to run a Blackstone HOn3 K-27 to test Sn2 track, because my Forneys don't have DCC installed either. The K-27 is supposed to be turned into a freelance Sn2 model at some time in the future, but who knows when that will be. My main goal has been laying and wiring track. I'm just about finished with my dual gauge staging yard, with some more work after that, I'll be able to run standard gauge trains in a loop.

I celebrated by running the layout's first narrow gauge train -- a D&RGW Mudhen that happened to be in the yard after bringing in a run-through from Gunnison. (In other words, my EBT locos do not yet have DCC.) All went well. This also gave me a good confirmation of the minimum radius for the dual-gauge country -- orginally tested on a homasote-and-flex-track mockup but now testable for real. And that all worked out also. This is starting to feel good. Lee Rainey
