Operations

First operating session

Today I have the first operating session. In general things went fairly well. There were 6 people including myself. Simple type switch lists were used. Three in total. Each required the use of a switcher and main line engine.

Even with a lot of effect put in to making sure everything worked before hand, there were still a few problems. Mostly with the turnout control. There were some track areas that engines lost power including some frogs (ones that I did not know needed power).

Certainly a learning experience. It is nice to have people attend that know more than I do.
