Just one of those days...

…where nothing wants to stay on the track [banghead] What is different about today? Yesterday I was doing a test run of today’s mini-operating session and it all worked out perfectly! (aside from me screwing up the orders [:$])

It’s a Monday, I guess. [|(]

Did the humidity change abruptly?

Here in Sunny Southern Nevada we had a humidity spike, from our usual single digit up to 60 percent as a wet cold front rolled through. It’s still at 21% - or better than three times normal.

Didn’t have any impact on my layout, though. Let’s hear it for steel benchwork.

When that happens I look for the cause and there is always a fixable cause…

I just operated 9 hours in the last two days with zero derailments at the Bucyrus,club-This is a old block building with lots of dust and humidity due to the door staying open for the fair goers.
