Consolidation 1st Run

Finally ran my Consolidation for the first time on July 18th and she ran like a charm. I had a few minor issues to fix and a few more that I noticed this past Sunday. This Consolidation is built with Railroad Supply castings and some free lance. My boiler is a Briggs Boiler built by my friend Don Cornell.  I have named the locomotive San Pio after the famed friar in San Giovani Rotando, Italy, who bore the wounds of Christ for 50 years and is a great inspiration to my own life.
