Tom Enloe

Tom Enloe has been running Time Table and Train Order operating sessions for over eight years on his Pacific Northwestern layout. During this time, the PNW has hosted sessions on the 2nd Saturday monthly where operators from all around the PNR Fourth Division have gathered to enjoy an afternoon of fun, putting the layout through its paces. The PNW has hosted ops sessions for the PNR Cascadian International 2010 regional convention and operators from around the country for Soundrail 2012 and Soundrail 2014. It is planned to operate as part of the Portland 2015 NMRA national convention.

Recent completion of the Cherry Valley timber and mining line, and the relocation of a couple of regular operators, have created opportunities for new operators to join the current crew. A crew of 18 is needed to fully exercise the railroad. With that in mind, Tom is soliciting new operators to be added to the call list for ops sessions.

Come and Learn! Tom and his regular crew have always placed a strong emphasis on teaching and coaching folks in the various facets of operation, in particular, Timetable and Train Order. To this end, Tom and his crew have created three trainee positions for those with no TT&TO experience, or who aren’t yet comfortable with their operating skills. Trainees will be accompanied by an assigned coach during their first session(s) to coach them on TT&TO and the PNW itself.
