Trains Running � Service restored to Waterbury!
A significant milestone in the development (or re-development) of the HO scale Central Vermont Winooski Subdivision took place last night when Central Vermont S-4 8015 ran under its own power through the newly-laid track in Waterbury, Vt. Power was a provided by an old MRC Tech II power pack connected to the buss wires with alligator clips. I learned a long time ago it�s better to perform the initial �smoke test� with a DC power pack than the 18 or so volts the DCC system cranks onto the rails.
A lot of work remains � but at least Waterbury has been declared �operational." The track gang will enjoy a well-deserved rest for the weekend before starting work on extending the mainline.
