The worst accident I had was running trains at my club's open house. It was Friday night at about 8:55 PM. We close at 9:00. I was running an MPC RS3 with a string of tank cars. The lights were dimmed and I was talking to a friend from work who came down to see the layout. I didn't notice the train picking up speed going down the big hill. It came flying down the hill and went airborne on the curve at the base of the hill. The engines and cars landed on the stone floor. We immediately shut down, turned up the lights and thanked everyone for coming. That was before cruise control.
