Photo from last here but I had a set of MT F7A&B running that lasted all last year, which is pretty amazing considering the conditions and the amount of hours they get. Unfortunately I had to swap to our AZL power this year since the F7B was the only one that wanted to play nice.

Got all the plastic down today to do a little maintaince on the layout. Cleaning track, checking how the trains are running, etc. Been open a week now, figured I should take advantage of a closed day to finally do the work. Currently, the museum is open Thursday-Sunday 10-5, beginning in May, we'll be open 7 days a week.

With the Museum season opening soon in April, the Z Scale crew is hard at work preparing for the season. Thankfully, the layout weathered the winter downtime pretty well.

Winter downtime (Museum is closed for winter other than Santa Trains) means it is layout and equipment maintenance time. The WP AZL engine, having a new motor installed due to failure of the old one, is being tested while pulling our track cleaning car. In the front, closest to the camera, the display train consist sits out of the way on the yard lead so that the main line is free for the WP AZL engine to run around.
