It was a quiet year for the WRS with only three operating session for the regular crew and another session for a visiting crew, but a few new engineers did get to work on the WRS this year.
With the work on the On30 modules, which requires setting the modules up in the middle of the WRS, and the schedule of shows last year, did not leave too many weekends free for operating sessions.
The Railroad did see a few changes this year. The major one being the swapping of the function of the North and South (MEC) Yards, because of issues with the Classification Yard in the South Yard . The North Yard, which now is the "working" yard, had three new tracks added to complete a five track Classification Yard. The South (MEC) Yard trackage was reworked to be a "Staging Yard", five double ended tracks, a run around track, caboose track and engine terminal.
The change in the Yards also required a few adjustments in the Schedule of the Trains. There are a few more adjustments that maybe required as we have more operating sessions.
That is all for now

With the 2012 convention in Hfx, it should be a good motivator to get those op sessions lined up. I hope to see (and maybe operate on) your railway while I am in town.

I will work on it... my main issue will be the control system, since mine has been used on the On30 layout in the past.
