Trains RI-1 and RT-3 have been sent on their way. Train RI-1, the Ideal Auto Turn, has arrived at Ideal Auto Parts to drop off NYC 86' Auto Parts Car #67086 from the Ford Plant on the N.Y.C.T.L. along with a few other cars from out west.
The caboose was cut and left on the main for a few while the cars are shoved back onto the Ideal siding. 1/87th PC Ralph sent 1/87th Stuart to the caboose telling him to watch how the move is being made.
The cars are dropped and 1/87th PC Ralph picks up the caboose and 1/87th Stuart joins him back in the cab. They'll head back to the yard and 1/87th Tower Operator John B. designates the train as RI-3, back to Rock Ridge Yard.
AP #301 arrives back at Rock Ridge and 1/87th PC Ralph gives 1/87th Sir Larry the full report. Rumor has it that 1/87th Stuart was very nervous as he knows eye are upon him, and that any more wrong moves will send him back to Maine and probably to some place where his future life will be picking potatoes!
Meanwhile, over by West Harold Tower, train RT-3 takes the siding, drops the cars on the secondary track. A quick run around to the rear of the train gives them the ability to shove the 2 KP&W cars along with 2 other cars in to track 1 of Three Amigos Warehouse.
Back at the yard, 1/87th Sir Larry checks in with the crew. 1/87th Sir Larry tells the guys a job well done and time to call it a day!
That wraps up the moves on the A.P.R.R. Thanks for reading and don't forget to check all of the P.C.C.M. participants!
Until next time!

Another excellent installment Sir Neal!! Great to see the AP fleet of engines and cabooses in action.
1/87th scale trainmen around the northeast are hopeful PC Ralph can have Stuart seeing the light of the
AP signals!
Very enjoyable!!!

Nice wrap up of the series! Great to see the new KP&W in the ops! Acknowledge that no rules infractions were noted this time with 1/87th Stuart!
Great action on the APRR with trains RI-1, RI-3, RT-3 and RT-4. Glad to see 1/87th Stuart didn’t have any issues with his train. Just some inexperience showing through on his first day. Great finish to PCCM 51D!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun segment! Maybe 1/87 Stuart is on his way to NOT being the company screwup? But the again, there's always one!
