First order of business before the test run: Pop off the shell and oil the top motor bearing...
One of the 161-300 wedge base bulbs was burned out, so a 19-300 pin base bulb was pressed into service.
The Blue Beauty on its maiden voyage, handling 10 gi-raffe cars and a caboose without breaking a sweat!
Future mods include installing an electronic horn, painting the pilots and sideframes to match the darker blue, and possibly upgrading the headlights to LEDs...
Once again, a million thanks to Paul for making this possible!

I guess I am officially an enabler... should have made it an anonymous donation!!! Looks like I've got one foot on the slippery slope, and one foot on a banana peel.
Glad I could help, Mitch, and glad the engine has found a good home where it will see some use.
Merry Christmas to you and the managerie
