There was much celebration from the shop floor as the FEF3 rolled out the door, and even the girls in the office came out to see the engine.  Big Boy was there to join in the celebration, before the FEF is moved back to the paint shop. I directed the boys in the shop to clean out the shop bay and get it ready for the next project to be built. I do not want them to think that they can rest on their laurels too long, as they may get lazy, and we can not have that! Since there is a local Houston area train show this weekend, I have decided to send the engine to the show for display, so others can see what large scale can be, not just toy trains around the Christmas tree. Once the engine is disassembled for paint and is reassembled, ready for it's madden voyage.  --  Barry
