BDR - Border Downs Railway was alive & well Thursday Feb 29th
Look what was running rampant !! A pity Stu was not present !
it appeared many times during the session but first the crew:-
Geoff the Man ( who took out the Johnny Award for being in "control" at Riverbend and not setting turnouts causing a major derailment)
Steve BD SM who, as normal in charge of
ably assisted by Ray, Reg, Craig, the scribe & visitor for the 2nd time, Adam from Junction Models with Tony still on holidays somewhere in the world.....
Outside of the "error" by Geoff, only a couple of false uncouplings so the night relied on the banter to keep things in some form of normality.
As I type this, today marks forty years that Ray his lived here in SA - longer than his previous "life" over the border. But that doesn't stop the niggles he gets from the BDR SM
And as normal, I was "instructed" to install bridges over the River Kwai ( but as I was the last driver hiding down near Easton, Ray removed them).
I also had my once a year job of being the Poison train driver & fortunately, Border Downs was done in my absence so I didn't have to suck upto the SM !
I didn't hear too many complaints about things on the BDR.
Crew for the next session March 14th are
