I am about to head down to the basement for a combination of testing the operation of the remainder of my rolling stock as well as working on a few cars that need maintenance or the attachment of grab irons.
I am leaving the duck-under in place and will duck under it today. I want to focus on testing the operational characteristics of the remainder of my rolling stock as well as how well they run on the spur lines.
