The Crew
Geoff - usual spot as Train Control/main Gunzel/Fixer of things that breakSteve - Master of the Downs
Ray, Ron, Tony & father & son - Craig & Connor making up the working team.
It started off well as I got the initial Johnny Award early in the night for not returning a turnout back to the mainline but during the course of the session, I lost it to Tony ( & I think I heard that the Boss man came close to getting it!! )
But those famous Fairies came to the party;
loco derailed eastern end of Border Downs - reason ???;
BL loco failed pulling the steel train up the helix - too much Inox:
new C class locos ( with new non-sound decoders) couplers failed.
Some open wagons need more weight in them - Geoff to note https://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/standards/sandrp/pdf/rp-20.1.pdf
There may have been other mishaps that I didn't remember :-P
But I do remember the BD SM castigating himself for some shunting failure.... We can't all be perfect ;-)
I think the only way BDR will have a "perfect" running session is for us not to do anything but just eat finger buns...
Crew for Sept 28

Steve
Ron
Ray

Efficiency plus for Ray & I in shunting - not sure how Tony & Craig/Connor got on - I finished the night about 55 minutes early, though trying to read some wagon numbers that are so small & dirty - grumble, grumble.....
So that is what happened. As usual, the banter between all of us, makes the night very enjoyable.
