The layout has a Monday - Friday exhibit tech assigned. Techs wear a blue uniform shirt. On weekends it's covered by pool techs who usually respond to radio calls for assistance. I'm an outside contractor responsible mainly for engines and rolling stock. My hours are variable but I try especially to be there on weekends. I'm the tall Black man without a uniform, but with an ID badge and cap. There are a dozen men and women who serve as volunteer guides and give interpertation of the exhibit to museum visitors. They wear gray shirts and denim aprons. These are "people friendly" persons who love to point out the little scenic details located all through the layout. Because of union shop rules, only technicans and contractors can handle the trains and controls. From time to time other contractors and the electronics technican might be trackside too. This weekend I'll be working to get a second steam powered train on the mountain loop and converting two more Proto 1K NYCTA el cars to CTA "L"s, and continuing to bring back some of the original cars with new couplers and wheelsets. Oh and the high mileage say goodbye to Idaho Saturday...Man! that was short, LOL David Harrison
