Op's Session on Larry Thompson's HO Western Maryland Railroad 12-11-24
Today we had the opportunity to operate on Larry's layout. Steve Johnson, John Ritter, Dennis Yeager and myself. I was videoing and operating at the same time, so my switching suffered a bit. At the beginning of the video, I included a quick tour of the 33'x33' layout. I am headed out to Steve's layout tomorrow for an op session which will be very fun and interesting. I have attended one previous op session there and it can be quite challenging.

Operating session on Joe Discher's HO Scale Layout
Просмотров 82419 часов назад
As you will see and hear it is organized chaos and so much fun! As always our layouts don't always cooperate. The bane of model railroaders especially when you have visitors! After lunch we discussed the expansion of the layout and how best to make the connection. Joe needed to add a track connection which we planned out. John is going over one day soon to install the connection. We are at Larr...

I also changed the industry adjacent to the helix to a beer distributor and now have one track enter the building. As I mention I an not sure what type on industry to have the adjacent industry track serve. The is not much room there for a building. Take care everyone!
