I have not spent 3 hours in one evening working the layout for so long I can't remember. I continued working the Road Orders in session no. 2. The Decapod and hoppers had trouble on the ridge trackage where it transitioned to a girder bridge and it also labored and jerked a bit so I stopped the train where I could remove the engine and tender to inspect and clean the wheels. After that it ran much better so I ran it over the same route again. I shimmed the track with a few popsicle sticks and that worked for now. The M1a hauled the mixed freight smoothly. I connected a track cleaning car to an H9 Consolidation and ran it around the layout for a good cleaning. Then I ran a 5 car mail train behind a K-line K4s. The only accurate cars are two Weaver B60s. I can live with the K-line baggage car but the two K-line RPOs are bugging me so much recently that I am tempted to try a kitbash of one as an experiment. I need a plan.
