Sorry, not been around much - too much work getting in the way!!

However, I saw this and thought it worth sharing...

Even for dedicated switching enthusiasts, yes, hours might become tiring, but a 30-60 minute scenario that incorporates a drop-off in a hump yard would offer an alternative to standard methods.

There's a second video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAgbpGxVSoU, by the way. I watched the first one for a while -- then the jerky camera movements began to make me wish I hadn't drunk that extra cappuccino this morning.
