At 3:10 this afternoon, Da 1431 traversed (almost) the entire 12' of baseboard. I had hooked up the 'Up' mainline for the occasion. This then lead to running Ed's from the Wellington end and 'reversing' through the crossover down to the electric storage siding. Da 1410 was then run onto the down main and reversed towards the loco depot while the electrics moved back out onto the main.
This play has revealed that I need to do a bit of work on the track and also wheel back-to-backs. The Ed's have developed a very nautical roll in some places.
Connecting the track up could also lead to a loss of productivity as its too tempting to run locos up and down rather than sitting down at the modeling desk.

Congratulations. That must be very satisfying (I wouldn't know - perhaps in time?).

Well done dude. I think that you really should have an official opening day with your Ed though. Have you got that neat publication Wellington railway memories? there's a shot on page 30 of the first electric. The crowd of like two people look really enthused. Just something too, if you've got that book whats with the Ab tender on page 31?
