We held our 8th operating session on my Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines layout today and learned:
1) You can't take a 23 car tank train up a 3% grade with only 2 Atlas GP38s
2) The crew forgets everything they have learned from the first 7 op sessions when you give them 6 months off
3) We only have 2 operators that can still fit into the Camden access hatch since the city encroached into its space
Mario (@mrodtoo) got cheated in the crew highlights of my articles in N Scale Magazine (you could only see the back of his head while he was working), so this is his actual face. He obviously enjoys yard work:
