The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[Steamtrains]

Hi gang,

Had my 1st operating session for more than a month. Felt good to just switch some cars.
My train had 3 loads I swapped for 4 empties - this took nearly 90 minutes!

lessons learned:
1) don't fill all spurs to capacity during staging.
2) waiting for the imaginary 'man on the ground' to complete his tasks takes getting used to
3) I need practise timing horn blasts before crossing roads
4) Seriously, don't fill the spurs!

Have a grand weekend!

It's surprising how a seemingly simple operation can take so long to complete. It happens to me all the time...
My operations in the main yard are further complicated as the main line divides the yard, and the #1 operating rule is: "Don't block the main"...
