Last night I worked on the decoder install on a brass Q2 for a while and then decided I would run some trains. I started moving the train of refers and the front locomotive derailed. I rerailed it , moved ahead and the second and third units derailed. I put them on the track and started pulling and noticed the cars were leaning pretty bad going over a section, and finally they separated. I think Todd jinxed me. After 15 years I had gotten an expansion kink and it had pulled the track out of the ballast. Track one required 2 actual feet of new ballast and glue so it will be out of service until tomorrow morning. It was an easy fix. 
In the meantime I will work on the Q2 and maybe finish the K4 I started 3 or 4 years ago.
