Well I thought this would serve as an amusing topic. I was curious what your scariest "recks" or things of that sort that have occured on your layout?
Mine would have to be a long time ago when I first began my main line on the outer rim of my bench work. I had not yet nailed the track down. I was running a 2 engine Santa Fe F-unit freight with about 10 cars. Just to kind of test out the conditions. As it rounded the part of the layout closest to edge, the entire track leaned sideways and I literally dove under the layout in an attempt to grab the engines. Just as I got to the other side of the table, they fell directly into my hands....but unfortunately, one of them bounced off my palm and fell to the floor with a thud. The engine has never run since then . But I did purchase a new one, and you best believe I fixed that layout mighty quick :lol: .
