And now, another video of the same.

Unfortunately we only made it half way around the track before we ran out of time.
It wasn't easy to leave her hanging.

We'll complete the voyage at a later date.

 Ed Nelson replacing the damaged coupler on the Commuter Cab Coach.

 Carlos Baez and Jordan Osborn troubleshooting our power problem. 

We affectionately call them "Boo-Boos".

 Back to Ed Nelson using a very special tool.

Carlos bought one for each of us.

Ed replaced the coupler and now we have another commuter cab car back in action.

 Whenever we have a "wood" problem, Dean Hatzis is our main man.

He had to fix several tonight.

Still using those power tools whenever we get a chance.

 After Carlos fixed the "Boo-Boo" we realized we had another one.

Carlos, and his faithful assistant, Jordan, went right to work and added a new feeder.

That fixed the problem.

 Ed Nelson checking out the "Dippity Do Dah".

My oh my what a wonderful day.

Carlos getting ready to solder the feeder wire to the rail.

 Another shot of Carlos soldering the feeder wire to the rail. 

 Who dat behind Ed?

Oh, it's Dean & Ed in action.

Troubleshooting and fixing the dip in the rail in the West Power District.
