Talking Ops with Don Irace - Prototypical Operations - Dustin Whitten

How can we take prototypical railroad rules and regulations and apply them to our layouts? That's what professional railroader Dustin Whitten is here to answer as he talks about taking pages from the railroad rulebook and using them to better the simulation of your model railroad. Dustin shares how these rules can be modified in compression with examples from his N&W South Branch. Look for this episode on Tuesday, August 13th.
