First Op Session and RailPro

(1/1)

ON28:
It only took 10 years since starting construction (!), had some of the guys over for a shakedown/informal op session. My HO layout, a double-deck mix of RP and NCE, functioned perfectly (a decade's worth of fine-tuning and pre-op track cleaning will do that...). None of my experienced operators had ever used RP. They were suitably impressed, particularly with the MU functionality. What a fantastic feeling watching the railroad come to life in the operations framework I had long envisioned!

Smoke:
Congrats!

Must’ve been really satisfying to see everything run smoothly after all the time and effort you put in. My layout is a small shelf that’s barely functional, so I can only imagine the time, effort, and patience to get to the point you are at!! Sounds like the RP system made a solid impression too (I don't ever recall hearing a negative first impression of RP, other than the defensive DCC diehards)!

Espeelark:
Glad to hear that!
After 6 years, I'm close to having a small, shake-down op session myself on the first level of my double-deck layout.
Nice to hear that the MU functionality worked and your attendees enjoyed the system (and your layout)!

ON28:
If you're close, don't wait! I temporarily powered my staging tracks with wire leads and alligator clips. And most of my switches have no throws yet. Gotta keep those trains moving!
