We were so crazy busy today running trains and meeting new guests I didn't get to shoot any pictures or take any video. I did have this piece we shot last Saturday overlooking part of the west side of the layout. I thought you guys might like it. Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone. I got a kick out of one of regular guests who's afflicted with autism wanting to add some video to the show. SantaFe? Not on our layout!

 

The layout hosts six loops. The longest three, two of which were shown here, measure about 300' each. I have run as many as seven trains at once with DCS on a single loop. Each loop has two sides of a Z4000 powering it, but there are times too many trains get on one side and it exceeds 10amps. By myself, I can manage 21 trains running at once with DCS without spewing train parts everywhere.

 

Yesterday, we ran nine trains under DCS and five under TMCC. Mrs Muffin was running the TMCC and she is a big fan of one long train on each of the upper loops so she can chat with the families that come in. She had a Virginian Y something pulling 48 Atlas O 36' reefers yesterday on one loop. She cheats though, she gets a lot of the guests to run her trains. 

 

We got our 8' by 8' DCS demo layout running yesterday, and are planning to add an upper level to it this week running Lionel's Lionchief Plus.

 

If if you get in the area stop in and help us run trains!
