Operating session 16th June 2017

I called the guys over for another session last night.  Almost everybody that I invited was able to attend, so we had the biggest crew we've had in a long time and, consequently, some of the guys didn't get to spend a lot of time running trains. Still, it was a good night, and the very few problems that we had were very minor

I took many photos during the session, but I used a new (to me) phone camera, and was disappointed to find that many of the photos were too blurry to be used. Here are the best of them:

Dennis and John C working a through freight at Pauls Valley.

A couple of rowdy rail-fans heckling the passing train driver.

Bill gathering cars at Davis for the local freight.

Greg and Rod.

Peter and Brendan were also present but I somehow managed to get no photos with them. Sorry guys.

Thank-you to the crew-members, who all did an excellent job in operating the layout and keeping to the schedule. Thanks also to my lovely wife and Harvey House manager, Beth, for doing a great job with the catering.

Thanks for looking in.

Regards,
Ron
