Grand Performance : Afternoon

After lunch, Derwin departed the Tour to visit a friend in a local Hospital.

The next stop was Wayne's Nottingham Sub of MEC to run a few trains and for our visitors to see his layout for the first time or to see what Wayne has added since their last visit.

I departed early to get the WRS ready for its performance. After the gang arrived from Wayne's and a quick tour of the layout, since there had been major changes since their last visit, it was time to get the trains rolling.

Dave headed for the South Yard, with Scott doing the Papermill, Al chose to do Roseton, Pierre and Barry did the switching in Dogwood and Wayne did the Mainline Trains. I did the North Yard and MEC Transfer. Both Dave and Wayne also ran the RDC. Near the end of the session Derwin re-appeared and operated the Bartown Switcher, people in Bartown did not want to think, since this is the first time in almost a year since this train had ran.

Sorry no picture of Derwin, to see Derwin working Bartown go to Scott's website. (link on the side bar) Derwin has also posted pictures of the Tour at his website.
It was a great time and everyone had fun, which is why we do this.

I am glad you enjoyed your visit. It is always interesting to have new engineers operate the railroad, you learn from the visit.
