It is fantastic to go to an open house to talk to other operators. Working on your own layout you sometimes become isolated and single minded with making decisions and solving problems. Many times there is something not right on a layout and it is my responsibly to fix it. After weathering our locomotives and railcars, it was enlightening to see how others have done the same task. Just the opportunity to ask, 'How did you do that?' is so beneficial. Also, to discover what layouts people have built in their backyards, garages or basements. To find out how they keep it all running with different power supplies and track clearing methods. I love talking about weeds because it has been our biggest problem in the layout. In conclusion, it is comforting to know one is not alone in taking on mother-nature for the sole purpose of watching a little train go around in a backyard.
