The first ride!

With about 70 feet of line down, Ryan gets ready for the first rideon the railway.  It went well, no derailments, and he did not fall into the pond.  The car is a flat car I made from plywood and oak with trucks from one inch scale railroad supply.  I've got an battery powered engine that is not fully wired up yet but I might be able to get it done before the snow starts, haven't built a plow attachement yet.

Kylie takes the second ride with a friend.  They made many runs back and forth and had a good time.  The car got up to about 60 mph (scale speed, 5 mph actual speed.)
