ImagineRIT and iPods


This past weekend was of course the 3rd annual ImagineRIT festival! We had a lot of people down in the club room during the day. In fact, the room was completely packed at times! Kyle stopped down to help run some trains. Overall, it seemed to run very well. We had a few problems with one of the switches at CP367, but it turns out there was just some dirt preventing the points from closing all the way. As a result, we could only run one way over the switch the entire day, otherwise everything that went over the switch would pick it and derail. (Fortunately, HO- cale trains don't cause catastrophic damage when they derail ) We were also running trains using Robert's iPod, using a program that he's finishing up for a final project... This is definitely not your grandfather's railroad!
