Great fun, as usual!...I resemble that comment! ;o)<br /><br />Great fun, as usual! Can't wait till the next one. I think a Train Controller (preferably with a big stick!) is definitely needed to keep that anarchic lot under control. Talk about the 'Rafferty's no-wire block' system of safeworking! (For Blair's benefit, the NSWGR once used the Tyer's 3 wire - 3 position and Tyer's 1 wire - 3 position block telegraph instuments to control double line sections, 'Rafferty's no-wire block' is a reference to those systems of safeworking, combined with 'Rafferty's Rules' [ie no rules!] to denote a complete lack of safeworking of any kind!)<br /><br />Yes, there was a lot of very 'dodgy' behaviour (particularly shunting outside the home signals while the section was occupied) that attracted the interest of the DPC. Might have to bring some 'bung' forms (traditional NSWGR name for the 'please explain' correspondance that occured when something went wrong) along next time... ;o) There were defintitely a couple of people there who should have been 'put back' (reduced in grade) to engine cleaning for some fairly spectacular safeworking breaches!James McInerneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-34196983038778658232010-04-30T20:11:17.135+10:002010-04-30T20:11:17.135+10:00Blair

I trust he's keeping you honest and wrote you up for almost creating that head-on collision! Quite inspirational, Ray. Just what I needed to see while I struggled with tiny bits of styrene building grain wagons!!B. Kooistrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150888384261119049noreply@blogger.com
