PRR S-1 6-4-4-6 road test.
Used a kadee #4 coupler for the scale size hole in the tender.
Unfortunately, they no longer make #4's; they were good for the front of steam engines.
Glad I didn't run a long train. Won't be pulling any 45 cars.
The tender is shorting going through most turnouts where the inside of the wheel is touching the opposite, open switch point.
A railroader friend suggested nail polish: thick and tough.
Engine shorted at this spot. A few spikes fixed it.
Needed the 'top creeper' to get to the bad track, though.
Ice storm this morning. I can, normally, walk under those limbs that are touching the ground. Most leaves are off this time of year but these pin oaks will take another 1-2 weeks to loose them.
