Not the nicest day out today, but a successful shakedown test completed! Mostly couldn’t record as I was driving, but got a few seconds as we headed back to the shop. Lots of little things and cosmetic things still need sorting out, there’s still months of work ahead for that, but it’s finally a reliable vehicle at this point 😄 #choochoo

Also, there’s a reason these are sometimes called “putt putts” #choochoo

Also also, the cab got put back on #9 this week and the tender got re-attached, starting to look like a real locomotive again! Should be out running again in a few months, a lot of brake work and other reassembly still to do. #choochoo

@sen Those of us of a certain vintage might remember Putt-Putt toys for preschoolers — including trains.

Here in Coos Bay Oregon I have seen a gathering of these on the local line. About 20 of them of various makes and vintages were passing through and stopped to spend the night here.
