after the frustrations on thursday with the hiawataha, i took it anyway, figuring it could sit in the siding. towards the end, i decided to give her a run, and what do you know... she was rolling and steaming as soon as i turned the power on. i let her warm up before hooking on her new rolling stock. one hedge will have to be trimmed as the ladders on the caboose get hooked up and cause a derailment.
