If I ran real trains I would be in prison now. After cleaning my tracks I had a little session running my trains. Left a cleaning cloth on a main line and derailed a freight which knocked over my passenger train on a curve. Re-railing and reconnecting an A-B-A unit is almost as bad as trying to get all of the wheels of a GG-1 on the track. I nudged a building slightly while performing these tasks (Pittsburgh brewery) which then blocked my RS-1/3 freight for egress on a siding stalling it. I tipped over several telephone poles (most are screwed in place - not are these) and scattered a few people. Thanks god for highly elastic thread used as electrical wires or my grid would have been out of service long ago. And, due to pure inattention and general stupidity I let a switch open ran one train into the rear of another derailing several cars on each train. I also had a speeder too close to the mainline and it got clipped and smashed in short order by a Lionel SD 40-2 which was traveling at high speed. After an hour or so everything was put back in place and operating OK. I got out of there before I did more damage....(almost afraid to go back in)
So, who wants to invite me to run trains on their layout or club???
. So the loco smashed into the tail of the train.
Passenger cars everywhere...
