The Cherry Valley RailRoad & Pacific North Western Railway holds operating sessions on the second Saturday of each month. The November session will be on the 13th. Anyone interested in operating with us should contact me at tomenloe@aol.com or Steve Haas at steve.haas@comcast.net.

For those not familiar with these op sessions or the layout, the layout is 28’ x 42’, HO scale, set in 1954, NCE DCC, with operation by timetable & train order. The building opens at 10 AM, the session starts at noon, and we run until 4:30 PM. During the PNR convention, we had 14 guest operators; we normally run with 15 – 18.

Mike McCrackin’s hi-rail layout was viewed and enjoyed as part of the 2010 Seattle-North Clinic’s Layout Tour. Mike has gone on to that “great layout in the sky,” but his widow, Roseanne, would like to continue the enjoyment of his layout by hosting regular operating sessions. These sessions will be coordinated and run by George Chapman, who helped Mike design and build his layout, in the Queen Anne area of Seattle. If you are interested, contact George at 425.644.4842.
