I came across a Facebook post on Friday showing a Marklin CS loco in action, so that inspired me to get my older (but similar) CS66/13020 out for a spin. Couldn't lay my hands on the Marklin passenger cars, so two Bing English coaches stood in.
In the video you can also see the fruits of our labor over the holidays, we got the train layout moved about two feet off the wall, so now I have access to both sides. It was quite a job, but now it's like having a new layout after 20 years of it being up against the wall. No more climbing!
