Here's another "club entry":

The above link should take you to the 13:35 point in the video where the "action starts".
This video shows club member Chris Porrazzo (the young guy in the red shirt) -- performing the AMAZING feat of OPERATING about 18 MTH trains on the 4 mainlines of the Paradise and Pacific O gauge public layout.

Of course, they can have numerous additional trains SITTING on the numerous sidings.

This layout is located in Scottsdale Arizona, and is open to the public 363 days/year; closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. (Except now, like everything else, it's temporarily closed due to Coronavirus).
This video clip was recorded and narrated in Feb. 2016 by club member Dave Benton (I wasn't a member back then).

The first part of the "Busy Mainlines" clip was "shot" from about the "4 o'clock" position, i.e. the lower right corner.
The last part was "shot" from the top center (where the drawing says "Turnout Count").
FYI: This railroad has 4 large mainlines, plus about 4 smaller loops that can be started by the public.
