Fun With My Trains | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Dick SOGR Forum Member

Yesterday, I had a short circuit in one switch. As a result, a Santa Fe F3 passenger train had a head on collision with a D&H Shark A-B-B-A set that was parked on a siding. The first A Shark engine derailed and was sideswiped by an New York Central F3 passenger set, which also derailed. It took almost 2 hours to clean up the mess, fix the track and wiring, and rearrange the trackside accessories. What a great way to relax with this hobby!! Fortunately, my wife was not home at the time to hear my comments about the situation.
