Mishaps - "Can you crash them?"

This is always the first question asked by children of a certain age! So, despite having one of the most sophisticated signalling systems ever provided on a model railway, sometimes things do go wrong. These are usually a result of stock or track problems, or if trains are not fitted for track circuit operation. Occasionally, the signalling system has what is termed a "wrong side failure", when something fails to an unsafe state! But hey, this is only a model, no one got killed - we'll learn for next time.

For the latest accident photos, visit Greg's site. Note that all pictures are of genuine accidents - thankfully mostly in the clubrooms.
