Clinics

Railroads exist to move things from one place to another safely, on-time, and profitably. This clinic will review how railroads try to do that, and how you can implement realistic operations on your model railroad, including:

• Jobs on the railroad,
• Various methods railroads have implemented to operate trains, and
• Planning for operations on model railroads

We’ll even touch on how to earn the Chief Dispatcher’s AP certificate.

This clinic pairs well with Peter’s other clinic, Moving Trains on the Railroad (about the methods of controlling traffic on real and model railroads) that will also be presented at the convention.

(And tired.)
