Train Crew Session

Interesting evening.
So good to have everyone back!

Here's what happened...

Ed Nelson, Carlos Baez, Dean Hatzis got right to work.
For some reason, our track began to buckle.
Carlos got out the dremel tool and snipped a bit of track off to make it fit better.

 You can see the track buckle here on the elevated mainline.

 Jordan Osborn oversees the operation.
Carlos Baez prepares the dremel tool.
Here's a video of Carlos in action:

Length .15

 Dean Hatzis repairs one of the mainline switches that feeds from Proviso Yard.
Our conclusion? Buy a new switch.
I will at the next train show, Sun, Dec. 13, 2015

 Jordan Osborn at the controls.

Ed Nelson and Carlos Baez fix another section of buckled track.

 Testing the new and improved track work by running trains.

Carlos Baez making sure the repair is in good order.

By the way, the parts for the monitors came in for the session tonight.
BUT, much to my disappointment, there was no signal.
So no camera shots for the monitors I installed this week.
I'm going to try another option.
Maybe we'll have a solution in a couple of weeks.
