Technical we could have run 10 trains, but it only has 5 throttles, so you
have to switch back and forth.

Could you imagine the mess ten trains would have made?  :)   It was bad
enough with three trains, four trains was crazy, and five was plain insane.
We had some spectacular crashes, the scariest of which was Rich's shunter
doing a full-speed head-on collision into a metroliner.  The look of horror
on everyone's face was priceless.  :)

What Chris didn't see was the initial look of horror on my face, after not
being there all day, stuck at work, thinking of nothing all day but being
there to help tear down and collect my pieces, only to see one of my better
creations lately in pieces on the table. EEEEK!

But after some initial investigation and some work to piece it back together,
I was fine.

...Lol! yes, u got there just before another problem with DCC
happened. The shunter was driving a small cargo train and rear ended a
stationary train rite on a curve. The shunter and a number of cars
took a tumble and the shunter ended up in a small pile of barely
recognizable pieces :-)

...DCC is great, but u've got to remember to check the track for other
trains that you didn't get started!!!


...you can go back to ignoring me now...
