Tetters, I knew you were kidding! 
Greg, as for the train run, it actually isn't the first. Did that probably 6 weeks ago. But no video. Somewhere in the previous pages of this thread are the photos of the first running.
Last night, for the bridge I am working on in the "scratchbuild" thread, I layed the bridge on the bents and connected the rails with rail joiners. Then I ran a track cleaner train around a few times. There was definite sputtering involved, but once the construction dust was knocked off the rails, away she went!
In the layout room photo above, you can see the train sitting in the yard on the right side of the photo.
