N&W J 4-8-4 and 6 passenger cars PM'ed.
Once in awhile, passenger cars would derail at this location. It took months for me to notice that the outside end steps would hit the roadway next to the tracks. Some sanding fixed that!
I missed another ground throw too close to the tracks that has been moved farther out.
Only a few wheels had any gunk on them but all were cleaned, anyway. Nice detail on these MTH cars. The engine is, also, by MTH.
Test run on the mainline. No problems but, with only 6 cars, not a whole lot of stress on the front cars. MTH is bringing out 4 more cars so, with the present 6, will make a nice train. The cars are lighted with interiors.
The smoke is either 'candy cane' or 'cinnamon'.
