I participated in a shakedown session at Robert Bowdidge's
Vasona Branch layout today. Since the layout hasn't operated for a while, the idea was to find bugs and gremlins in the layout. It performed quite well for my crew.
The Vasona Branch is one of the first operating layouts I encountered, and it still pulls me in the same way it did 10 years ago. On top of that, Robert is a great host with lots of knowledge of local history.

The layout has a unique mix of busy city switch jobs combined with the rural feeling of the Valley of Heart's Delight into the Santa Cruz mountains in the 1930's.

This was a very relaxed session with lots of chatting. The time went by very quickly and I think everybody enjoyed themselves. I certainly did.
