Today's Run

Marc Horovitz has taken to running trains every day during the virus age. Below are commentary and photographs about his run on 5 July 2020 - the 75th consecutive day of running.

Hi All,
Today I had a great run with Stewart's wonderful Darjeeling Class B, with a train of rolling stock by Rob Bennett and figures by Maureen Watkins.
This was my 75th consecutive day's run (or attempted run), with a different engine each day. I'm going to have to call it quits for a bit, not because I necessarily want to, but because I've more or less run out of engines. As time went on I made a list of non-runners and those that needed attention in one way or another. I want to devote some time to those to see if I can get them going again. Whenever I do have a run, I'll be sure to post some pictures to the group. Thanks Keith, again, for your inspiration. This has been a fun journey, and thanks to everyone for your support and forbearance.
All the best and stay safe, Marc
