Chugman's Operating Session (Video)

I had a great time Art, thank you for the invite.  The layout is looking fantastic.  A perfect day of good trains, good food, and good people.

Very nice my Friend!!  The layout runs perfectly and the track plan is first rate.  I can tell everyone had a great time.  I really enjoyed the video....thanks so much!

Art,

Layout is looking good! I see retirement from Kraft really paid off for you! As of 3 weeks ago with the company breaking up into 2 companies, I ended up on the Nabisco side aka Mondelez Global International after having 28 years under my belt with Kraft.

Hoping to retire soon and/or in a few years so I can do the same-run trains!

Beautiful layout, looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing

Hello Art. Great video I wish I was there.Maybe I'll see you at the next Dupage train show who knows I keep haveing to run to the Doctors so all I can do is hope things go decent for me soon. Till then have a great day.   Scot

Thanks for the video, the layout looks great! I hope to see it in person some day.

How happy are you with the switch machines?

BNSF Mike what's going on with your layout?

Thanks everybody, we did have a great time.

Zett - I really like the Tortoise machines. They have been very relaible so far. They are much better at keeping the closure rails tight and preventing derailments. I also am glad to get rid of the ugly switch machines on top of the layout.

I really enjoyed the video. It felt like I was actually there with you. Of course, you know my favorite train running on Sunday was the California Zephyr. It was nice to see Mike P. there.

So,....Chug?  How do I get an invite to this prestigous event?

Brian - You were definitely missed. Everyone that knows you asked about you and sends their best wishes. The California Zephyr is my favorite as well. And we have the only two known observation cars with a blinking rear strobe light thanks to Jim.

Jim B. - You are most welcome and I regret that I didn't invite you, my oversight. Are you going to Trainfest this year? If so, which day or days? Would love to meet you then.
