DCC would certainly make things a lot easier, though extra power feeds
would be necessary to assure all lines are powered at all times. Using
one person's DCC motors would limit the locomotives used to ones where
the motor can be easily swapped, but I'm not sure that's much of a
problem since the goal is to have a fun operating session more than to
look at all the cool MOCs.

Count me as interested in such a thing, though I'm not sure how far I
could/would travel for such an event.
