Large Scale Central

Top 5 things heard at Ric's Place this weekend

Ok…this is a tradition at Scif Fi Modelers Conventions…basically its a good way to keep track of the funny stuff that occurred over the event…Feel free to include stuff I missed since I was busy runnin a railroad…

(5) (Doug dispatching the railroad form Southern Junction…)

(4) “Whuddaya Doin’ in Muy Yawd?” Andy, yardmaster at Consolidated to…ummm everyone…

(3) Why is the Railbus still at Old State Light? (Cause Doug got mad at Andy and left it there)

(2) Train 122 Where ARRRRRRRE YOUUUUUUU?

(1) We’ve concluded our business in the Litterbox (Cat Dump) and proceeding to Consolidated…

(6)You don’t wanna go that way(from Sweetwater to Beagle Jct, a shortcut through the privet hedge), cause if you derail you can’t get to the cars( I didn’t go that way and got bit by the privet hedge twice)

…grinning…

OK, Jane says these need to be added:

  1. Yeah, The Southern Dispatcher isn’t answering, cause he’s deep in conversation, AGAIN…

  2. Dispatch, I can’t take that train, it goes out past Consolidated, and Andy’s out there…

  3. Train Engineer " I won’t fit into that siding""
    Bart as Dispatcher “Standby, we’ll get back to ya”"
    ------- two hours elapse------------
    Train Engineer " Can i go for a potty break while i’m standing by??""

  4. A call goes out to ""Rubber Duckie “” and the reply comes back… ““Why ya bothering me??””

  5. the dispatcher sighin relief as all 7 radios have been given out to train crews, relieved that no more trains can be added at this time, then someone shows up with their own radio… ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(6)You don’t wanna go that way(from Sweetwater to Beagle Jct, a shortcut through the privet hedge), cause if you derail you can’t get to the cars( I didn’t go that way and got bit by the privet hedge twice)

Took my mallet back there last time I was there. Was glad I had a strong enough loco to drag the wreckage out to where I could reach it.

  1. Andy…heres 20 bucks now be nice to me or I’ll tell your wife on you.
