Mini-Op Session

Jim Karcher, a friend of the landscape designer that is working with Alicia to redo the landscaping in the back yard,  visited the layout this week. He is a former Navy Commander with A-6 Intruder background. He currently works as the Safety Director for the NSF Antarctic and Arctic Operations.

He has an interest in model trains and is considering an N Scale layout. He had a chance to do a mini-op session on the layout taking the Whiton and a few cars from Brook to Stonemans. The locos operated well, with no derailments, though Whiton did short briefly at the lead turnout to Stonemans. I am not sure what is happening there.
