TrainOps 2024

Camper’s Inn? Don’t expect to get any service if you buy from them.

Yes, but wasn’t planning to buy there. They have a model we are interested in on hand. Also at their Raynham , MA store. We want to check it out before ordering from my local dealer where I bought our current unit. I think they are probably the only ones that will take my 17 year old trailer on trade. I don’t want to sell privately - too many issues to explain!

Linda and I will be there. We’ve got a BnB booked in Chelmsford, and will attend as we can figure out how to.

I will try to meet up @ Bobs Friday after work …

Put most of the buildings out. Did a bit of maintenance at Williamsport, needs a bit more but getting there.

Like Bob i have been prepping for TrainOps. inside the Ophier loop the final building is fit in. It is the House beside the trestle.


i also added appropriate grade crossings for the road. (crossbucks on the horizon)

to see all the buildings at Ophier loop you need to attend TrainOps

I will also note this building is the prototype for an upcoming Banta Models Kit.

Please move discussion on trailers to a new thread.

Let’s keep this one on TrainOps.

Would like to see more people attending.

Looks like we are ON! Reservations made! (though I won’t have anything to run! :unamused:)
We’ll be headed for New York first, to stay with Jean’s brother for a night up, and one on the way back as well.

Our move in date is now set for July 12…

No problem Stan. Bob is on it!

I too would love to see a larger crowd. All three layouts are impressive and worth a visit, but Stan’s is absolutely huge and built in a wonderful wooded setting.

Fixed the sidings at Williamsport today, and set out all the cars. Next up is Dead Rooster Gulch.

Two weeks to go. All the buildings are out and in place (mostly). One piece of track to extend a siding a bit more, and then a bit of car maintenance and get them in place. Rainy today, so that’ll be tomorrow’s work I guess.

Don’t forget to screw down the brick on the siding for Radder.

That was Ken, even though he blamed me for failing to call the distance. I’m sure he will be there in spirit, probably causing derailments on perfect track!

So great to hear, Bruce!

I’ll be bringing your Shay, we can share it!

Bob, maybe I missed it, but is there a particular schedule for who hosts what on which day? Or is it all three layouts running for 3 days, and we just decide where to go for ourselves?

One more thing, could you or someone PM me the three addresses?

We’re sure looking forward to it!!

Rough schedule is Friday is at Al’s, and then in the afternoon sometimes people come by here for Run-what-you-brung. Saturday is ops here, and Sunday is at Stan’s.

Thanks Bob!

Possibly the last (HA!) trackwork at Williamsport. Put the missing spur on the other side of the freight warehouse. Added a bunch of details, etc. More details to come.



Got the copper mine in place.

And Marconi Macaroni.

Getting there!
