Looks like you worked him too hard LOL. Nice report and nice looking layout. Do you have any pictures of the layout itself? Nice to see all the model railroading in the Maritimes.

We weren’t looking for ventilation. Our goal was increased speed due to an alternate fuel source. It worked well too. However, I’ll file your suggestion for later use when speed is not an issue.

Later!
