Introduction to Procedures and Reliability

As a modular group, setting up only at train shows, we try to make the process as painless as possible. We want the public, as well as ourselves, to have fun and experience model railroading at its best. Not only do we strive for more reliability, but some of us are interested in exploring ways to move beyond running trains around and around in circles. This page contains links to procedures, protocols, and plans with these goals in mind.
