WM Ops session Review

We're going to have quite a crew over Sunday.  I've been getting everything set up, checking waybills, working out a train schedule... should be fun.  I'm really excited to have everyone over.  Tonight I'm plugging in the fridge, and tomorrow I'll be stocking it up!

Here's a few fond reminiscences of previous sessions to get you all worked up if you're coming, and to give you some ideas if you want to host the next one!


Here's Tim Nixon, clearly having a magnificent time back in August of '07


Brian Carhart works out a little switching puzzle during the same session.


Ed takes his first stab at mastering the yard.


Carl is so intent on watching his Penn Central job, he doesn't realize the Scooby Doo is about to climb into his mouth...  March of 08.


Tom Mann stays cool and runs steam... 10-28-07


Of course, there's always plenty of visiting road power.  Ed's Conrail consist...


Brian's Rock power takes over a local at Ohiopyle


And a whole rogue's gallery at the roundhouse... and look what the cat brought in!

I'm hoping all goes well on Sunday for everyone.  I'm really looking forward to it!

Lee

Ed looks like he's 65 in that photo. ;D

Tim looks like he showed up a few days early by accident ;D

And aside from the 5 o'clock shadow, Tom looks remarkably unweathered!

Ed's going to FEEL 65 after this schedule gets run!


But I bet he's up to it...

Geez, judging the look on Ed's face, he's either having a tough time running the yard or he's constipated.  Is he sweating?!  If working the yard is that much of a workout, perhaps it's not the fun that I thought it would be.   ;)

How could Ed not be sweating? Check out the Yardmaster on on the wall opposite Ed... looks pretty threatening. Is he holding a death ray?

Fortunately, since Andy has vacated the train room, most of his robots have gone with him... ;D



Looks like he might have some monsters planted for the tower operator at Williamsport, though...

Oh, I was sweating alright!

Lee points the interrogation light RIGHT at me, I think it's because I seemed too relaxed at first.

I can't wait, this is going to be a lot of fun.
