Sorry I missed last week's update. Spend the last two weeks getting the layout and the basement ready for the first test of the layout and the operating plan. On Monday night the session was done. Five operators braved the snow and showed up for the test session. As with any test session there were a few problems. Did not run the new tank cars, over the complete layout after finishing them on Sunday. There was an issue with these cars and the bridge. Then there was coupler height issues, few section of track that when dead and other small issues.
The operation session worked out good, need to made a few adjustments until the crew has spend more time in the three districts learning their finer points. Most of the Turns took longer then I had planned. People had to learn that only one car will fit on the siding, looks like two will but only one will.
Now I have a list of things that I need to work on before the next session in March.
Sorry no pictures, was to busy being Dispatcher, Head of Maintance and spare brakeman.
