This Sunday I will be hosting an "Ops on the Fly" session from 10 to 2ish for those in town for MFMR Convention. I have made a change from the normal WRS Ops to back when the WRS began to operating sessions. Each Area will be serviced by a Local Train. At present I have 4 trains staged for the Mill and 4 trains staged for Riverside / Bartown in the North Yard, and 5 for Dogwood / Greenfield and 5 for Roseton / Whiskey Falls in the South Yard. Also working on the paper work for more trains, which will require a switcher(s) to work the North and/or South Yards.
If you need instructions to find the WRS, see me at the NBR&N On30 layout at the Show.
Now back to list of things I have to get done by Friday.

MFMR Convention
The Convention will be held June 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Halifax, almost my backyard. For more info see http://halifaxmodeltrains.ca/
My orginal plan was to host an Ops Session on the WRS on Friday night for people who are from out of town, but a few things have came up. The control system used on the WRS is also used on the NBR&N On30 layout. My plan was to use a Zephyr to set up the layout on Friday Night and then install my Chief system on Saturday morning but with the issues at Shearwater, I had to dig my Booster out of hiding to provide more power to operate all those sound units. So I am going to need more time then just an hour on Saturday morning to set up for the first time on NBR&N Layout, you know what happens when you pushes one's luck.
The WRS will be open on Sunday for visitors, who wish to stop in and see the Railroad. I will have a few trains staged so you can do a little switching on the layout. I will be running the trains as Locals instead of Main Line trains with Switchers doing the local work. You will have the Choice of following jobs to pick from: Paper Mill, Dogwood/Greenfield, Roseton/Whiskey Falls and Riverside/Bartown.
For anyone does not know where WRS is located, see me at the Convention and I will give you directions.
At present the WRS will not appear on the Convention Layout Tour List.
Hope to see you all at the Convention.
