Wow, I think I like this even better - Model Railroad Triva.....
Pure guess -25. I remember a traveling HO railroad exhibt that advertised 100's of trains. It was like a large travel trailer or small mobil home. The fellow had 100's of locomotives but only one train was moving. Guessing from the track arrangement he could have orbited about seven. We stood there for about 30 minutes to an hour. Eventhough he had trains on the track, locos in the round house, he spent the entire time putting more locomotives onto the track. He wasn't having a good time of it either. I don't know if he couldn't see well or if his hands just couldn't work that fine anymore, but he would put one truck on and doing so would derail others. We came back later but he still didn't have anymore running, of of the loco's he had put on earlier had a short or something and he was working on it, trying to get it to go.

No there was one other time. The other question was what does shack mean in railroad lingo? It is of course a brakemen.
