It all starts less than 2 weeks from now… Would appreciate a head count on folks that plan to attend… Head count is not mandatory, but would be appreciated… Thanks…
How will you have an OPs session if I’m not there to mess up all the train orders and slow up traffic with my sidewinder

lol perfecto! I could have my 55 turn 70 tonner delivered, and the parts just dumped on the mainline, that would stall things up for a while!! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Sounds like a perfect plan Robbie! Be sure to run extra slow just for the yardmaster (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
With the addition of a new factory building for Chandler’s Furniture, the old building was purchased and moved to a new location to be utilized as Jane’s Milling…
Under other purchase circumstances, a new passenger stop has been added along the EVWR tracks, named ““Beagle Junction””…
Station can be seen just at the left edge of the tall light green bridge… This was a tempory location for Addieville, before the tracks were completed to the actual Addiveille location…
Yesterdays Ops was a good day… Got 10 trains run, with a nice crew on board for working the lines… Pictures were taken, and will be posted in the following week… Need to get geared up for todays Ops…
What’s Jane milling?
Chocolate malt balls. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
