Ops Session Prep

Emptying the staging yards to rejigger train assignments

Recent acquisitions allow me to run operations sessions on the Welztalbahn without any electric locomotives, which always look a bit funny on my layout due to the missing catenary, and instead do an ops session with only steam and diesel locomotives, which is perfectly prototypical for the early 1970's in Germany.

I started to revise the scheduled train assignments, as well as introduce a new mail and express goods train, which doesn't really do any switching, but stops at each station for loading and unloading.

Paperwork

Once that is all hashed out, it's time for some track cleaning. I'm so looking forward to that ... not.
