The Railroad is becoming more theatrical in nature... probably because of my Video Production background. I've created a moon scape on one side of the layout, and a sunset on the other... and we have more and more scale lights added with each new scene.  I'm adding sound animation to more areas and all locos are DCC/With Sound

 We operate on a simple card system so that everyone can operate.
