Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all.  Hope you have a successful, healthy and prosperous new year, loaded with lots of fun.

My fun started off great with a new train under the tree, a reproduction of a classic Lionel tinplate train. Unfortunately, the fun didn't last long as the locomotive in the new set stopped working after about five minutes of running.  I found a loose cable, replaced it but it came loose again quickly.  Three more tries with the same results and I gave up.  This morning, I called the manufacturer's service department and set a return for service. It will be in the mail in the next hour or so.  Here's what it looked like before the failure.  

Happy New Year!
