It was Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I went out to the Triad Live Steamers club track in Harrisburg, NC. I brought my newly completed rolling stock. I was about to make the maiden run of my 7-1/2" gauge railroad. I had just gotten the two locomotives running 30 minutes before I left the house. Everything ran great! no derailments, no issues, just fun!
I was told that the smile on my face was huge! Now, I have to bring my Gaynelle out and have her operate too!

T he maiden run of Locomotive #2 |
The maiden run of the pair, MU'd together. |
Yep, I guess I really did have the proverbial grin! |
