I spent about 1.5 hours yesterday and I was half done of one wayfreight. Finished it in about an hour today. That included the local pickups and deliveries in each town.

There’s another wayfreight in the opposite direction, the Wholinthall Turn and the Transfer Turn, so probably another 3 or 4 hours to complete the session.

I’ve never really done much operating on the BS&T. I’m usually just doing a little bit of local switching, or running the helpers. This has proven to be a very worthwhile exercise. I have identified and repaired a few issues that I was unaware of.

Must go run the Turns.

Sorry to hear the Moncton Gang could not make the trip. <em>Yup, it doesn't take long to go through a bundle of track. Just got back from the new guy's place (Tom). Derwin, Brian, and I helped him lay track on his layout and went through almost 3 bundles (15 pieces) in an 8' x 8' room. Now I think I'm going to answer the call of the train room and try running a full set of orders by myself. I wonder how long it'll take. Scott PS

Yup, it doesn’t take long to go through a bundle of track. Just got back from the new guy’s place (Tom). Derwin, Brian, and I helped him lay track on his layout and went through almost 3 bundles (15 pieces) in an 8′ x 8′ room.

Now I think I’m going to answer the call of the train room and try running a full set of orders by myself. I wonder how long it’ll take.
