So yesterday I had one hell of a time, and I think it bears mentioning considering how well I think the whole thing went. Maine Locomotive and Machine Works did a hand on the throttle even using Edaville's No. 11 along the remaining section of the old mainline (delayed significantly because of COVID, but it still happened). Now I speak for myself, but being a total nerd with no hands on experience on a throttle or firing, but both Brian and Margaret made the whole morning excellent. I've had great teachers and I've had crummy teachers. Brian and Margaret are up there with the other great teachers that I've had a chance to learn from. They boiled it all down to points that total novices could grasp, understand and implement.

A hatchling becomes a fledgling --- CONGRATULATIONS, Young Man, you've taken the first step down the long road to ruin, and many more shall follow. Best of luck to you, Dylan.

Take Care & WORK SAFE,
Sammy
