March 5 Update

Last night we had our second operating test session. Overall everything when over great. There were a few new issues to deal with. There was a problem with the Exchange Trackage not holding all the cars, this has now been addressed with the removal of the 2 x 4 on edge and the installation of 9.5 x 24 module. This will allow one more car in each of the tracks. There were also a few "dead" sections, which I hope to have addressed by the next session. A complete check of the rolling stock is also planned sometime soon.

This session included two new operators, Jeff Ryan, who will be a regular and Scott Jay, a visiting operator from PEI, who was in town for meetings. Bruce Castle was Yard Master as last time, but this time he did get to leave the Yard to do the Junction Turn.

It is still taking between forty five minutes to an hour to do the Roseton and Dogwood Turns. I hope that as more operating sessions happen, the time will be reduced as more operators learn the trackage of each Turn.
