Yes, great evening and must give accolades to my wife for doing all the cooking and serving prep work as I made sure everything on the layout was working. I think I topped out at 27 people and the last ones left a little before 11. As Paul said everything was running great all evening until he pointed at the one train and then it let go of its freight. What my friend failed to mention was the other mishap of the night as we passed through the Paul Stackow Bridge (yes I named a bridge after Paul in thanks to him giving me, an unknown at the time, his signature on my TCA application many years ago) for the first time in the evening the engine went one direction and the auto carriers went another after going through this bridge. That is why I am now a firm believer in never doing anything nice for anyone ever again...well maybe not everyone just Paul.
