Emphasis in the American section is now on fine tuning and detailling the scenery. Parallel to this, our train operators run trains around the layout to discover any 'left-overs' from the model builders and/or flaws in the trackwork and to thoroughly test the function of contacts, occupancy detectors, and turnouts.
