Report No.7

I got the crossing done before it got in the hot sun this morning. Had to add a few 10ths %  last 3 ft near the crossing to get the grade crossing flat w/ the path, about 4.25%. 
Late afternoon I tested w/ train Mixed 21 being pulled by No.15. Pulls just fine, even when I switched out the tank car for another heavier LGB boxcar. No.15 is a 4-6-0 from an old Chattanooga set I bought new years ago. I rebuilt it last spring w/ new running gear and metal rods from Bachmann. Still has its sound card, but modified the pickup for 4 chuffs per rev.
No.8 really needs sound!
