Kirk was Virlon's cohort handling the throttle, and spent all evening trying to figure out what everyone was trying to "say".


"Go away."




















"Stop."




Connecting the hoses was not easy. Took muscle and proper aligning.


"One car."


"Easy."















Hand Signals

July 9, 2009

For tonight's program, Virlon took us through an introductory workshop on hand signals.


Ed did a brief show-n-tell from his lantern collection.




No. 1801 sat over in the corner and watched.






Brakeman, "Red Zone."
Engineer, "Set and centered."


"Easy."
























Virlon, imitating his student, admonishes "None of this Schwarzenneger stuff, now."







At right above, Dennis and Kirk put No. 70 away after the lessons were over.

At right, some of the gang checked out the speeder.
