Glad to hear things were OK. We were worried...

We had a great time. Unfortunately I never got my camera out. We started
by assembling my extended 7740 (engine, 7819 mail car, 7815 sleeper, 3
coaches, 2 club cars, and dining car) on the floor. The we built a loop
of blue 12v track. I think I need to put a 2nd motor on my 7740 engine.
On the blue track, with it's rust spots, the engine was a little jerky
and the train was constantly splitting. We then replaced the 7740 engine
with my Beyer-Garratt which ran flawlessly, pulling the train without
breaking at all. I'm real pleased that the spacing of the parts of the
Beyer-Garratt works out perfectly. I also ran it through the passing
siding which it also took flawlessly, so the S curve in a turnout is no
problem for it.

Unfortunately I'll be at BricksWest...
