Working Redland on the Bear Creek & South Jackson

On the 14th of October 2023, I went over to Charlie Comstock's for an op session - the first time I've made it to two consecutive sessions at Charlie's in a few years. We were short on operators so it was decided to self-dispatch, without train orders or basically any paperwork. We had:
1. a Time Table
2. Train Sheet explaining when each train was called and could leave
3. Train cards, explaining what each train did.
4. Car cards and waybills
5. a Fast Clock, set to 3 or 4 to 1.
I wrapped the legs of a Gorilla Tripod around my neck like I did at the Mud Bay & Southern (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2fTZqFuftZ7nLM) and started videoing the BC&SJ. After recording a tour of the layout, I went in for the pre-ops briefing, during which I volunteered for the Redland Switcher... other experienced ops were needed for other (yard) jobs, and the inexperienced ops... well, it wouldn't be polite to put them there their first time on the BC&SJ.
Redland is in the "Land Down Under" that depicts Central Oregon, and is almost a layout unto itself. You don't see much of the rest of the layout during the op session.
So here is my day running Redland, with a bit of a balky GoPro.

Jeff, I really enjoy your full length operations videos. I’ve never had the opportunity to operate on a large layout so it’s very interesting to see what really goes on - derails, shorts and stalls.

Well, you hope not to get them, and if I'd be a little more attentive to turnout positions, I'd have a lot fewer of them...

Charlie, do you have any opening for operators? Love to join the crew.... 🙂

Any Operator Positions Available?

[@JeffShultz]

You'll need to contact Charlie directly. I do know there are no op sessions planned until January.

@@JeffShultz Jeff how do I get in touch with Charlie? Is he listed in the NMRA?
