Just the 3 of us. Joe was at his club's layout display so I did the 'dispatching'.
Figured attendance would be 'light' being just before Christmas but only need one to have a 'good time'.
Usual pizza before operating.
Ben's kit built freight cars.
Plus his tank.
Paul brought his PRR sharknose diesel.
Plus his 'printer generated' freight car.
Amazing detail the 'printers' produce.

I failed a couple times trying to 'dispatch' and take videos at the same time!

Basement Christmas tree.
This N&W Y-3 2-8-8-2 had a 'valve linkage' failure!
One of the 'valve linkage' screws 'fell out' and I 'actually' found it!
With 1500' of railroad, I figure the odds were pretty slim!
============
A few days ago a railroader's motive power wasn't 'working'.
Easy fix on the programming track by inputting new engine addresses.
