Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Hey Y'all,

I had a wonderful time visiting with one of my doctors and the lab. No, not really. I don't think they left any blood in me. I'm sure I'll glow in the dark after so many x-rays.

I did spend an hour in the train building wrestling with a prewar 1664. It doesn't like any of my switches. The cars sound like a squeaky door convention. Do 1664's have a smoke generator? I only got one complete run around my layout without an unscheduled stop. Is this normal? Honestly, I hope I can still get around when I'm 77 years old.

Briansilvermustang, I have a locomotive with cool little chains now! It doesn't like my layout either. It must be a Lackawanna show pony.

To get a "good" train buzz, I ran the new-to-me 736 again. I noticed the front of the boiler of the Berkshire opens. Why don't modern steam engines do that? The consist included a #3472 milk car. Guess what, it works! It throws milk cans on the floor with authority.

Bill
