Sorting Out The Yard

Well in order to have an efficient railway we need a skilled yard crew.
That is where Scott enters the picture.
We keep him busy sorting out the incoming and outgoing trains and he only screws up occasionally!

Ken's Turn

Well we had more crew than jobs so Ken sat out the first session but was called upon to operate the Shellville local.
So here we see Ken MacQuarrie hard at work arranging cars for pickup.

The Fine Art Of Uncoupling

Well Tom put Mark right to work sorting out cars destined for the Ashtown freight to pick up. I believe Mark has mastered the high tech uncoupling tool.

Train Night In The Valley

Well I have posted many pictures of my layout over the past couple of years I figured it was time to post a few pictures of the people who operate the Canadisle Rail.
We usually get together every second Sunday evening to run a couple of sessions.
This past week we had a rather large turnout with most of our regular crew plus a few visitors.
This allowed me to take the night off to shoot some pictures which I will share with you now.
In the right hand side of the picture above we have Scott Jay of Bayside & Tidewater Railway operating the yard.
To Scott's left we have Ewen Moase running the Ashtown Freight.
Next to Ewen we have Mark Wall who is checking out the hobby. He is helping Tom Gaudet work the Shellville Local. One the other side of the room we have Greg MacQuarrie running the Ashtown Local and Ed Cook who is visiting from Ontario running the Shellville Freight.
