After several months of work, it is finally time to run a train around the loop. We thought this day would never come. Hooking the big SD-70 to a load of tanker cars it pulled out to make the run. Having lowered the climbing grade to 2.0% we had our fingers crossed that this single locomotive would not have any problems dragging a dozen cars uphill. Everything worked perfectly and soon afterwards the battery had drained (When did we charge this last? It must have been a year ago.) We are going to enjoy the layout for the next couple of weeks before I set back to work with new improvements.
