      He is running the loco but yeah, I don't get that either. He can run the loco from the cab but mostly they run it with a hand held control box. It's supposed to be a safety thing. They can walk up to ten miles a turn over uneven ground and dark yards. 
      doesn't seem safe to me.

              Yeah, heh heh about that…I ask everyone not to repost these photos  because as @yinzer knows management takes a dim view of cameras on the property. A very dim view.  😶

                  Does anyone have the measurements for this tour jacket?

                  @Appfaff  @neph93

                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                    The tour jacket is an XXL. I’ve never had it in hand. I’ve checked my correspondence with Padmore & Son and there’s no record of measurements there, so I can’t help I’m afraid.

                      Hey @steelworker would you mind measuring the PIt to pit on the tour jacket for me? Thanks brother.

                          Slight change in the tour schedule. @organisys has had his share in the jacket bought by @DK. @DK is in the US and the jacket is due to head to Europe after @steelworker is done. Instead of delaying it's first transatlantic crossing and making @Aetas sad, @DK will go in at the end of the tour when it returns to the US. This means that everyone after @organisys on the original schedule moves up a month. It now looks like this:

                          Here's the schedule:

                          @Appfaff - US - January 2018

                          @Matty123 - US - April 2018
                          @steelworker - US - May 2018
                          @Aetas - GER- June 2018
                          @Cole - GER - July 2018
                          @Max Power - GER - August 2018

                              going to be work pictures because most often that's where I am. Try to get people in some shots for scale. Much of the time I don't see anyone, it's eerily like the shop runs itself
