Sam Posey asks "Are you an Operator or Scenery Man"

I have to count myself a scenery person. I have no operating layout due to constraints at home, but have been an operator at John Pryke's for many years. I have usually handled the Union Freight cab and was mentioned in Sam's book briefly. I love detailed and intricate structures with a realistic setting for the trains to operate in and will eventually have (I hope!) a street switching layout based on the Claremont and Concord Ry in Claremont NH. <br /> <br />John P's operating sessions were unique in that we had a timetable, but no pressure from a fast clock, when each move was finished, then we moved to the next set of moves for each cab. I have operated a timetable layout where everything had to syncronize and found it too much like work instead of relaxation. <br /> <br /> Vic Hamburger
