Lets be clear guys....the layout Bruce/New Guy is referring to and making assumptions about is the basement railroad empire of Tony Koester, that Tony spent 15 years building. And the article is just an editorial about his preferred method of running an operating session and how its done. And no,the whole layout being huge, cannot be run by one person ...that doesn't mean that Tony can't spend an hour switching cars at one freight yard or another should he so choose as a way to have some fun should he so choose.
Personally I would have absolutely no interest in building a layout that big, nor would I want to be activly involved in an operating session on a railroad like that...but thats me. I also wouldn't want to go about buying and building the way Bruce-New Guy did last winter...but thats me. My interests are different than Bruces or Tony Koesters....if they enjoy what they are doing and how they are doing it then that is all that counts and all that is important.
I enjoy my way of model railroading, it works for me and I presume everybody else enjoys their way of model railroading and the way they do it works them...that is all that matters,that is all that counts. Period. End of story.
