| Rob Fair helped a lot tonight with trouble shooting problem on the RR. Thanks Rob! |
 |
| Here's one area we had to make some adjustments. The trucks on one side lifted up and off the tracks so we had to elevate the track on one side to remove that issue. We were able to fix the problem. |

| Our final run tonight will be the Excursion Train 4A. |
 |
| We will revisit this train again since we had two spots on the RR that were troublesome. Will it ever end? |
