Any picture from Microbusss without his dumpster or his toes in it is a "win!"

That Aerotrain worked?! That's awesome. On top of that, the Hogwarts Express set is absolutely gorgeous, something about them British locomotives.

Cool to see the Aerotrain run, but I hope you lubed the motor and gearing beforehand. Any oil or grease has probably dried up, and you don't want to run it with dry motor bearings.

That Aerotrain is so %#% gorgeous, if it were a woman, I'd
marry it. Really clear photos with nice angles. Keep us posted,
loving it. Even if you only can run a few trains at a time,
it is so cool that they are running at all. Nice job.
PS: dying of jealousy.

kinda sorta
Had to run the loco naked to get it to run
But I think its too slow even at full throttle
Only problem I has with the HE is the front truck is too light & derails TOO easily
Now do see WHY I needs EZ straights?
I has TOO many curves!
Also need switches too

Hey, glad to see you finally RUNNING some trains, instead of just collecting! Sometimes you just gotta break them out of the box. On your junk collecting run, maybe you need to look for pallets and plywood to build an outdoor railroad semi-permanently. Nice pictures, too!
