AC87 (Aaron) and his brother (Nathan) stopped by yesterday for the first ops session on the layout. Great fun was had by all.
They ran a local turn from the SF Interchange yard to the SP interchange, and then back to the SF interchange. Picked up and spotted a bunch of cars at the various industries, took about an hour and a half to complete the work.
Earlier in the week, I had set up the session. We used a modified switchlist for the various movements to be made. It was all intuitive and worked well.
Some pics:
At the Santa Fe Interchange yard
In the area known as Almeda... and the GERN complex
Crossing the Mason Park bridge
Doing a run around at the Santa Fe Yard
Crossing the South Wayside bridge
