    Weekend Update for July 19-22, 2024

    Please update us what you've done on your model railroad this week/weekend. This weekly thread is intended for us to post snippets about our layout/project progress, rather than be a substitute for our layout-build or project threads.

    Think of this topic as a mini update on what you've accomplished during the week/weekend. The administrators/moderators will start a new update thread each Friday.

    You can link from your layout-build thread or project to your posts in this thread as a part of a more extensive post there, or visa-versa (post to your build thread and link to that post when contributing to this thread).

    Click on a post's #number (right-hand end of the post header) to get the URL to that particular post in your browser's address bar. Then just copy and paste.

    So fellow RMRers, what have you been up to this week?​

    Never can start too young with ops? I took my 10 yld to his first ops session and he cut his teeth on the same layout I did. We ran 3 trains over about 5 and half hours.

      That is great he was able to join you in the session. Even better he made it through 5.5 hours. Not sure I could do that

      I was impressed as well. I probably could have gotten him to run one more if he had some food in him, but it was already way past dinner and bedtime when we finally stopped. It was funny because when we first started he said to me "I want to run trains untill past my bedtime". This was after he had just ran part of his first train. And then it came true. He was a trooper despite being hungry and over tired. He was fast asleep on the drive home.

    Well, we filled in a train sheet this week.

    Had a daytime session with nine other guys. I was the day shift dispatcher. Saturday we did another session with twelve of us. Four of the guys came in from California.

    Both sessions were four hours long, and ran with a 2:1 fast clock ratio. I am becoming a big fan of slowing down the clock. Plenty time for the local switch jobs and yard jobs to finish their work.

    Here is the train sheet after I finished my shift at the dispatcher's desk.
