The Appalachian and Ohio had it's first "test" operation session this past weekend. The Owner and boss took advantage of a stoppage in construction for the recent open house and held a "mini" operating session. Work kept me away, but those that made it have posted some pictures on the A&O website. Take a look.

I am fairly new to the hobby and continue to be astonished at the level of detail and workmanship that goes into some of these layouts. I mean, just the detail on the control panel is amazing. Extraordinay layout all the way around. How many hours have you got invested in this?

Operating on such an expansive well designed model RR to a well defined operating scheme is something everyone in the hobby should experience at least once. It will forever change the way you think about your trains . It is an entirely different adventure than one might perceive if they have never tried it on for size.
I appreciate seeing the photos gentlemen!

Real nice layout & photos.
Just visiting during the open house was spectacular. To have participated in the operating session would have been totally mind blowing.

how fortunate to live somewhere that many in O scale live. Could drive a day and maybe find one here. Need to find a rertirement community that operates an O scale layout.

I've been following the progress on this layout for several years now and I'm always astonished each and every time I visit the site at the level of detail in the trackwork. Beautiful layout!
A few more photos were just uploaded.
ChipR - I'm sure that when regular op sessions begin, invitations will be extended to the guys in Denver. This layout could easily accommodate 14-16 operators.
Thank you for sharing!
Yes, VERY NICE!!!! Wish I lived closer.
