I love that transition era and the layouts beautiful. But man do I wish people modeled other eras apart from 80-current, and 40-early 60’s. Rarely you find 70-90’s, or 1900-1930’s or the biggest delights are late 1800’s eras. My new layout I’m working on is top level based off 1909-1923 although I would fudge the time up to 1940 for a couple locos I like, the bottom level I mix between 80’s-present day
You need to note he did not have a computer at all in the whole operations. I agree OPS Program would be better. But what he does is very effective. This RR is very good example of KISS. Works, runs great and is lots of fun. Many do not want to have anything to do with a cmoputer.
I agree in 1948 only computers were ones use to crack German code and others used by intellengence parts of governement. But the real Railroad never had a car card either. LOL. Denny does not use computer in the operation of layout.
Layout captures the Santa Fe atmosphere, computer/software is nice to generate switchlist but people should run the RR ,not the computer (don't be a slave to the computer).
Nice layout,I live In Brownwood!

Note the signals are under construction. They will be controled by the dispatcher. He has tortoris switch machine controlling them.
Nice Video ART. Hopefully you have 2 or 3 more video from Rocky Ops. It was nice to meet you at the BNSF layout Sat Nite.I'm Tom from Mississippi.

Curved switches are a godsend I swear haha. :)
That is a very nice layout !! Great job.
Very nice. Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing. :)
He built a little close to the edge

One other nitpick too. The blue and yellow was only in use on freight "F'"s in 1949.
Nice layout. The FP45 was a bit out of place for 1949 though.
