For those that have been following my build. The day has come for that first
ever run around the layout. This was the first ever run on rail and my heart
was in my throat. The layout is in it's last stages and I have had stuff hit
the concrete in the past. We will be selling the house in the spring of next
year so this layout will be gone sometime this winter.
As you all know I started this loco back in January and my goal was to finish
by June. Well that did not happen. At this time August 1st the soldering iron
can stay unplugged. The next step is installing the two decoders and the
lights. After that I will paint a decal the loco. But that is most likely after
August. I will photo every step of those two procedures as I have the build.
If I were to figure the hours spent on actual work this loco would have taken 8
hours a day 5 days a week for 2 months or more to get it to this point.
I have uploaded some videos of the first ever run to YouTube.com. To see them
just go to youtube.com and type in mopac 1414. What you will see is a first
every back and forth run and then a run around the layout on individual video
section.
