This is the first test run on my home line. It was not very succesful as we found out that the cylinders had no packing! As a result, the engine was barely able to pull me on the flat and refused to go up hill.
This sad experience lead to three things:
- The grade on my layout wa eased.
- The engine was geared lower
- The cylinders were packed
