I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. It’s a long story but it involves finishing up a fence project (full size 1:1 scale), cutting boards, and a table saw. I’m now typing mostly one handed, but my left thumb is on the mend.
Anyway, my injury didn’t stop us from hosting a few guys from Halifax for a model railroad weekend this past Saturday and Sunday. Bruce Castle, Doug Murray, and Doug Whitman made the trek to the Island on Saturday primarily to give us some advice on planning an MFMR Convention – since we’ll be hosting next year and have never done one. The side benefit was that they’d be able to operate our layouts while they were here.
So, as soon as they arrived we went to Derwin’s Canadisle Rail for a quick operating session. There are a couple pictures provided by Derwin in the gallery at the bottom of this post.
Then we headed into Summerside to visit and operate on Brian’s NeverDone Railway. Brian had some photos posted of the operating portion of the visit, but I don’t see them today. I’m not sure what’s going on with that.
Anyway, after operating at Brian’s we came back to my place for supper and to discuss all that’s involved in organizing an MFMR Convention. I think we learned a few thing we hadn’t anticipated so the visit was worth it from that perspective. Then we finally got to do some operating on the BS&T. Brian had to leave so I was pressed into service. As a result I didn’t get any pictures, but Derwin sent me a few (he must have been slacking off).
