Railnews Monday Feb 4th

Ok i said things were going to change and they have. Why ? well i found there are sites that do the news very nicely and i'll be adding their feed as soon as it looks right. You see using a blog as your website gives you a package of free options including RSS feeds. Anyways thats another story i'm working on so back to the news.

First piece is a Youtube video made this weekend of an operating session. Some of you might now be that experience with these but it is the pinnacle of model railroading. Role playing at its finest operating sessions focus on the job of railroading. The Central Indiana & Ohio Railroad looks great its very easy to get lost in the action.

See the layout a little different this time. We combined tripod and walk around action. Also see the CATS distpatching system in action. Then a message at the end from CIOR Life Saver, as we see a close to tragic event!

Next piece of news we have is the National Model R ail Association has a new website and it looks very nice. take a look www.nmra.org. The NMRA are what keeps the hobby alive and strong if you ask me. Its a bit complicated but true., read a bit at their site and see for yourself.
