To get it up and going was certainly not easy.
Some measures turned out to be necessary to prevent derailment :
– All wheelsets were measured, adjusted and then glued in a jig to achieve accurate gauge
– Kadee metal coupler were mounted on all cars and engines
– Mid train helpers were added to avoid straightlining
– All cars ahead of the helpers were weighed down to 200 grams
– All engines lost weight due to weight limit on the track
