Ric_Golding · April 23, 2009, 5:02pm

Here are a couple of examples of signage that we use on the KVRwy during our OPs Sessions. We have an event coming up May 2 and 3. Starts at Noon all are welcome to attend.

I love those signs. Where do you get the metal stands?

One of the guys in the club had them for sale. They came from a nursery that was closing. The one outside the basement reads.

You mean she didn't leave you a mile-high honey-do list? :D

Yeah, she did. I don’t think she really expects much of it to be accomplished, though.

(She knows you too well.)

I remember my very 1st run at Ric’s, Nobody felt it neccessary to explain how it worked so I just took off for the 1st switching order and… I’ll never forget… the dispatcher came out of the office faster than lightening and walked rather speedily up to me, “what are you doing?”
“uh, going to switch these cars?” lol

Biblegrove_RR · April 28, 2009, 1:40am

you will be missed, rain all week, upper 60’s and clear Saturday! Jacket weather… perfect!

Ric_Golding · April 28, 2009, 11:47am

Working around the raindrops to prep the track. Thank God we don’t put up the steam track for the Spring Ops. Moved a lot of cars in place yesterday AM. 2 inches of rain, since then. It’ll all work, weather is part of Operations.

Torby · April 28, 2009, 1:47pm

Both locos are ready. Even the sail boat’s repaired. All ready for summer fun!

Biblegrove_RR · April 28, 2009, 2:40pm

Are you coming Tom? that’s great if you are~! I will bring my slicker, just in case…

Ric_Golding · April 28, 2009, 5:27pm

Slickers, umbrellas and sun screen should always be included in your traveling kit. Trains aren’t suppose to stop because of a little “weather”. However, the crews do seem to need more breaks when the “weather” is at it’s extremes.
