Op Sessions

It looks like I will be doing two separate types of Op Sessions. Kind of like I did before.
One is a monthly on the second Tuesday of the month. Mostly for the local retired folks in the area.
The other will be for the more distant folks. Starting this weekend I will do every two months on the last Saturday. This alternates months with another layout on the same last Saturday of the month. In case the monthly session doesn't draw enough, I will pull from the local group, of which there seems to be enough extras.

Getting ready for the next session

For the next session I will be bringing Portland online. This will add three trains during a 24 hour day.
Belfast (with the wye to St. Albans) was reduced to a single track and the old main is now a siding for the creamery. This added a new industry and reduced the signals by three. Of course a lot of re-programming to these changes.
A bunch of rolling stock added along with four more trains and one more track to cover the new train to Northern Maine Junction.
Then there is the paperwork to go with it all. Nothing is ever done until the paperwork is done.
This Saturday I will have a new person over to learn the Dispatcher's station prior to the actual op session. He has been here before but has not done the dispatching before.
