Last friday night I held the very first op session on my layout. The purpose of this session was to test the layout, but we ended up having a lot of fun!
Below is a shot, and here is the rest of the op session report:

Le mie più vive congratulazioni da un altro appassionato italiano di modellismo ferroviario americano! Ciao.
Fantastic, let the fun being. Lots of great pictures on your web site, keep them updated. We’ll love to follow your progress. (Beautiful layout).
Dude!!! You’re nuts! This is awesome. You need to start posting more here so people know about this layout of yours you’ve got going!
Great freakin’ work man. I knew you were young, from your pictures, but wasn’t expecting 31 lol. When did you start this? And I see that you list “Internet” as your occupation. You must make a killing to be able to afford all that space and then all the stuff you’ve done in it, haha.
I really wanna see more of your weathering work, I really really like it. The 2 examples you showed inspired by Model trains Weathered are AWESOME.
Hey, thanks for the kind words dude! I started planning this layout in June 2006, construction started in December 2006.
I zipped it, it uses only few TeraBytes of my basement 
Actually I am a UNIX/Linux sysadmin, but most of the people don’t know what that means…
Thanks! Far from being comparable to the MTW super works, but I am pretty happy with them. I have some more weathered cars coming, so stay tuned!
Zipping it, now why didn’t I think of that for my layout, if I could just get a higher compression ratio for the space I’m using… That was great, thanks for the geek chuckle
In all seriousness though, excellent work, your layout looks fantastic.
Thanks [8D]
actually, the only reason I DO know what that means is because when I was a sophmore in high school, one of my Jr. friends was already a WHIZ at Linux. I didn’t get it… but thats why he’s the sysadmin/IT guy at Lafarge Cement, which apparently is next to the largest rail yard in the USA right now? (Selkirk, NY)
Hey, how cool is that? I’m jealous, I want to be a sysadmin for company close to a yard, too
Perhaps you’d like to see some more pics and read a short report of another op session on the SP Coast Line:
