That was not only the whole train, but there was not much more track.

The three ran fine last weekend, considering that it was not entirely put together last week. The only problem was with the spare dynamo we put on as three's dynamo is currently on nineteen. The spare showed a rather severe vibration at nearly full RPM and, having had a recent catastrophic failure of a governor, we shut it down.

Due to extreme fire danger the Heisler only ran in the yard.
