To help volunteers learn new skills and develop old ones, the railway holds occasional 'mutual improvement classes' (or, MICs). This evening, the focus has been on practicing nighttime shunting skills.

We very rarely have to carry out shunting in the dark at NTSR. However, with the nights drawing in and later trains timetabled for the upcoming 'Elf Express' event, this becomes a necessity at this time of year.
With such decreased visibility, shunters have to rely on communicating with their driver via lamp signals, rather than by hand.
Tonight's team!
