[Accrs-ho] Good Guys and the Fair

[ACCRS HO Scale]

If no one claims the horn and hoses, I'll take them. Haha. I'm always looking for railroad artifacts to collect.

Anyways, I would like to say it does help to run track cleaning trains if anything just to make sure the track doesn't get dirty and the trains run well for Goodguys and the fair. Ron Chapman and I were at the club a couple days ago running and cleaning the track for several hours (it desperately needed it...I was wiping black stuff off the rails with my finger in several areas) and my trains were running really well tonight because of that. So hopefully we can keep the track clean by both hand and track cleaning trains.

I also noticed while running tonight that there appears to be a section of track that is completely dead. It's right inside the back tunnel by the port on I believe the freight line. I'll point it out during the next meeting. But my train, once it got maybe two cars into the tunnel, it just completely shut off. I don't know if the track is just really super dirty there, but it was a fairly large section of track that just seemed dead. So we'll have to figure out how to get that addressed.

So, it turns out the “O” scale will be open both days and there were a number of HO folks there tonight wanting to run next weekend.  If anyone wants to run either day, please advise.  At this time we’ll be open on a voluntary basis for both days – DCC operation for both.

We need help getting rid of a lot of junk under the layout which gets in the way when we are crawling around go fix derailments and just general cleaning to make the place look decent.  The tower also needs some clean up.  The following Friday is a business meeting and the non-meeting time should be spent on residual clean up.  If needed, Saturday the 10th can be used for cleanup and repair.  Remember, many hands make for light work, or something like that.  BTW, does anyone know who owns the triple air horn and the two new railroad car air hoses under the layout?  They’re just taking up “crawl” space and we need to clear them out.
