Well, we had a new location for a Monday night train night, meeting at Jack's house. He has an HO layout modeling the '60's on the Western Maryland. My grandson, Dylan, was in town for a visit with Memere and Grandpa so he came along. He was familiar with the throttles as Jack uses the same system that I do. Jack broke us up into crews and Dyaln was my engineer and Paul was the conductor. I was the switchman.
That is Jack on the left giving an orientation to Dylan and Paul.
A concerned looking Jack is watching as Paul and Dylan get ready to work the yard and put together a train. Meanwhile other crews are running on the main with a couple of other trains.
Paul showed Dylan how to uncouple the cars using a wand so here is Dylan making the cut between the engine and the cars. Fortunately, we had a great evening and most of the equipment survived the night. Dylan did not generate too many demerits and may be invited back!
