Sweet video! (hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave) 
Thanks!
Funny comment, considering there's no caboose
(though the last car is full of meat)
Ed: I'll double check the wheels, but the loco runs fine on decent trackwork.
I'm pretty sure all the bumps & wobble are due to the crappy trackwork I was learning on.
But that was one point of the "chainsaw" to begin with, so I can take those lessons to the next layout.
This layout has been definitely worth it in terms of skillz-building, and as much as I'd love to "finish" it (and sell it), it'd just take more work than I have the heart right now.
Plus, I tend to get to the point where I've learned what I need to from a layout and then get more excited about starting the next project than finishing this one.
As the poet William Carlos Williams wrote: "If the power to go on falters in the middle of the sentence--that's the end of the sentence."
Thanks to all who made suggestions / comments while I was working on it.
Definitely helped!
Cheers!
