I would suggest coordinating with Steve R, since he is most of the train
layout, since we will have a number of trains, stations, etc. He is working
on automatic swithces already as well. If you have a multi train layout that
100% works, with no major hangups by the time we have the show fine, but if
it has a lot of problems, it will not be included, since it is not really a
testing ground. Fair enough?
Other peoples thoughts? Maybe at Tony's event, you can do a trail run or
something.
Good luck!
