I just got home from my first operating session at the Dupage County Historical Museum in Wheaton. I started in the position of operating the hump yard that has operating retarders and motorized turnouts. Next up came setting a train up including rearranging cars and adding a caboose and engines. I also got a video of from on a train and the video is uploading now.

Big Layout

That looks like a really good sized club layout, that would be fun to operate. It is not common to find an operating hump yard on a layout, so that is a major plus on the prototype flavor.

The hump yard is really cool,

The hump yard is really cool, they used to know of two but the other was dismantled a long while ago.
