First ride under motive power!

  So I've got 150' of rail down and a working engine and flat car.  Time to ride!  I've got the controller in my hand, the lights show battery status, the thumb lever controls your speed (if you let go it drops to zero,) the I/O switch changes forward and reverse and the switches on the bottom are for sound/horns/lights.  Once you have an engine going you can really tell everything you've done wrong.  I've got way too high grades (I have a digital grade level somewhere in the garage - must find), uneven side to side track, my gaps between the rails are too big and cause derailments (especially on curves), and my curves are too tight.  Otherwise all is well. 
  After getting the engine going there was essentially no further progress on extending the line, just fixing what I've got down so far.
  Here's a you tube link to the first drive:
