Operation Sessions
Tom Cain's
Eastern Illinois Sante Fe
Tom Cain's Sante Fe layout is a popular Ops Session location in Indianapolis . . . he has a beautiful layout and will be hosting many convention attendees. Note how the wide aisles allow for easy movement along the mainline.
Here we see several folks during a recent Operation Session at the Naptown and White River Model Railroad Club Layout. This is an HO layout that resides in a building owned by the club. The layout is completely sceniced and regularly gets detail upgrades. The layout is DCC with the Digitrax system.
