Layout Derailments and Freight Car Problems

By Bruce Petty

Here’s a little derailment on my layout: Operator Error. . .
Leaving the switch misaligned.


A piece of scrap iron was dragged under the loaded gondola car when pulled from spot.
A piece of scrap was caught on the edge of the street pavement, and upended the car.
So always inspect around the car before moving!
