We
had our 8th group operating session today. We were missing one of
our regulars so I had to do some actual railroad work in addition to my normal
responsibilities of handing out demerits and providing general crew harassment.
As I mentioned on a couple of the model railroad forums we learned the
following:
- You can't take a 23 car tank train up a 3% grade with only 2 Atlas GP38s
- The crew will forget everything they have learned from the first 7 op sessions when you give them 6 months off
- We only have 2 operators that can still fit into the Camden access hatch since the city encroached into its space.

(@mrodtoo) got cheated in the crew highlights of my articles in N Scale
Magazine (you could only see the back of his head while he was working), so
this is his actual face. He obviously enjoys yard work:

ReplyDeleteLOL ... You're doing okay then. Some of my crew members forget everything they've learned five minutes after they leave my train room.
