Elliot,
I did something similar in the 1990’s, I had a dcc O scale interurban layout. It was 22x50 with a 200’ main line. I was one of the first to have a trolley line under wire running dcc, we had operating sessions with up to 10 people.
I was asked by the local nmra chapter to host an open house. During the open house I had a sign up sheet for anyone interested in participating in an operating session, I was surprised at how many people signed up. While I was not on the same mission as you, I did prove that you can have interesting and challenging operating sessions with a model trolley line.
Keep up the good work, the railroad looks great.
