Operatign session on Rand Hoven's A&S railroad (N)

My good friend Rand Hoven, socially distancing himself during the COVID-19 pandemic, with no operating sessions is sight decided to take a video of an operating session on his layout.

So, there is an introduction to realistic operations on a model railroad. This layout models the Delaware and Hudson RR in the late 20th century.

Thanks for posting. Am a D&H modeller and am interested in any other N scale D&H layouts.

Love his dry sense of humor describing all of his "help" for the session!

Yeah, I got a chuckle out of his "crew" too.  Rand  is a funny guy, with a dry sense of humor.  Good guy!

That was worth watching. I really like his level change without using the hated helix. Would like to see a track plan... this has several features I’d like to “borrow”.

Rand has a blog.  http://albanysusquehanna.blogspot.com/2008/04/plan.html As you can see by the dates, he hasn't been updating it too frequently but it might give you some ideas.
