Yesterday I completed wiring the track laid so far, and fired up the NW-2 for the first time. It runs smoothly, very smoothly, even at very slow speeds. I'm very pleased with it. It was a good test of the trackwork, because no matter how many times you push a string of cars or a truck through switch frogs, etc., there's no test like actual running.
Other than a few minutes' worth of minor tinkering at a couple of turnouts, no adjustments were required. It sure was fun, after an 18-month hiatus, to run trains again!
My next task is to get my Rex 0-6-0 ready to run by doing some routine lubrication, since it has been packed away for a year and a half.
