For the first time in nearly a year, I have trains running in Chez Marmel!

This Marx dealers' display has been languishing in my garage for half a decade after suffering what Space-X calls an RUD (Rapid Unexpected Disassembly) after the bungee cords holding it to the roof of my sedan let go on a back road. So, last night, I sat down, pulled out all the old nails and staples, and reassembled the little indefinite using Gorilla Wood Glue and drywall screws. After a bit of tweaking and repair, the original Marx track is working fine, and I was able to add some buildings and scenery! Plus Fortescue.

The sawhorses will be supporting the final layout whenever I get that done. But, for now, I can at least test trains...
