Test run over the pit track


I spent some time over a few days installing the track in the monolith pit. I was surprised that it was quite a pleasant experience. I'd maybe work on it for a couple hours each day and almost immediately after beginning my mind would enter a flow state. I thought this would be a stressful job given the precision needed to get all the pieces to fit properly, but it turned out to be rather restful.

There are some minor alignment issues with the landscape, but they are easily corrected. After watching the loco climb the grade I think the loco still has enough - as my father would say - 'oomph' to pull a couple of cars.

I think the next task will be to do a little landscape cleanup.
