Visit to Border District - Sat 26 Oct 2013

Craig and myself had the pleasure to operate on the Border District on Saturday.  Unfortunately there were a number of operators who were invited but didn't turn up for one reason or another, so that left us with four of us.  Craig was delegated the toughest job there was - the SM and shunter at Tatiara Downs, and boy there were some interesting mishaps - from locos into the turntable pit, runaway engines and the odd "running through points not set" derailments.

I had an enjoyable time running a few trains, observing the signals and waiting patiently for the stick.
Overall a very enjoyable time again at the Border District.

Some photos below from the session.

Some photos of movements

Lately I have been running the schedule and also thinking about getting a more balanced operational theme, as currently I have it very much skewed to shunting.  There is a possibility that I may even have a loop of track so I an enjoy more mainline running.  Here are some photos.
