Hello to All
As I mentioned in an earlier post I am a new convert to RP (Jan of this year) and so far have 60 engines, 13 HC, 4 PWR 56 and 14 circuit breakers up and running. The end of April we hosted Pro Rail (a yearly ops event held in different parts of the country) with 75 operators in attendance joining us for 3 days of operation on 5 local layouts here in northern Utah. It was a push to get RP up and running and with only 2 op sessions under my belt RP performed flawlessly for the 45 operators who attended sessions on my Utah Colorado Western.
I had many conversations with Tim Ring regarding changes to the HCs he might consider making to enhance performance of large users such as myself. I can report he came through in flying colors and the new features are great improvements. I know he is working on several more and will be releasing the upgrades to everyone in the near future. As posted earlier I had my son make custom lanyards and they proved invaluable for operation.
At this point I would like to extend an invite for a crew of 16 to our first ever operations weekend dedicated to Rail Pro users.
It will be held on my layout the Utah Colorado Western in Corinne, Utah. It will be a 2 day event Friday and Sat Sept 15-16 2017 (subject to the response from this group). As mentioned it will be for Rail Pro users only and will give us a chance to meet, share ideas and have fun operating together. We might even get Mr. Ring to attend if his schedule will allow.
If you are interested please respond to me at leeucwrr@msn.com
You can visit the UCW at
www.ucwrr.com. I haven't updated the site in awhile and there have been a few changes to the layout.
I look forward to hearing from you and perhaps this will be the start of future Rail Pro events.
