A question for the group...

Are Opera Window style Center Beam Flats still in service after 2012?
I have not seen any for quite some time.

I have a few of these cars in my collection and I'm trying to decide if I should keep them.

Finally some trains actually running on the new layout!!  Even if it is just a test train.

H&C engine #23 emerges from Tunnel #1 and begins climbing Lubkin Canyon westward towards the Sierra Nevada mountains.

I roughed in the scenery below the bridge to minimize the number of times I need to remove the trestle from here on out.

Recently I hosted an operations session on my Diamond River Valley Railroad. I considered it a good session based on a couple of things.

1. The attending crews all seamed ot have a good time.

2. All trains ran, and for the most part they were very close to the scheduled departure times.

3. My name was not called out many times. (No electrical or Mechanical issues)

4. My initial after ops session inspection looks like all revenue cars were correctly picked up and dropped off.

So what makes a good session on your layout?
