Weekend with operation in Skepptuna 2013



We managed to design and build a very interesting layout in a relatively small room,12x10 meters. The purpose with the meeting was to build a layout and show our members how fun an operating session can be.

About 20 members came to the operating session on Sathurday and about participated during Sunday.

 

It was minus 27 grader outside but it was warm inside where we had a great time running trains in three operating sessions during two days.

 

Several of the participants had never been part of an american operating session. We gave them a short introdction to the role of a dispatcher and the use of Track Warrants.

 

In the middle is the new module Whits end. Victoria is building it and it will be an eyecatcher when it's finnished.

 

We use car cards and waybills for routing the freight cars.

 

Details from the module Hungry Horse. Matti has renovated the module, Victoria builds and wheathers the houses, Seth takes care of the nature and the threes.
