The first operation session

Some weeks ago, when my friends in US-rails met at our house, – we had a short operation session. The layout is far from finished. There are just some functioning tracks in the yard, and the wiring is temporary, but still we could run a simple schedule and do some switching.
Here are some photos from the op-session:
















Tormod and Thomas plans their next move putting together the passenger train.














Looks like Jon Tore, with the Digitrax Zephyr throttle, enjoys being the engineer for the yard switching job.














Before the session started, some of the guys had to test and show their newest engines. I don't own a steam loco myself, but we did hear engines with sound from QSI, Soundtraxx, even their new Tsunami - It sounds terrific! - and a diesel with Digitrax sound.
We also got a demonstration of the LocoBuffer and DecoderPro.
