Lots of attention to Commuter Cars this week. Also ran Rob's new F7 A & B Units, More commuter trains, what's on tap for next week?

Love seeing the commuters run

I don't know why I get so involved in one area and forget all about the other areas on the RR. I guess that's what makes it so fun!

Amazing detail!1 even have the destination boards!! Cool!1

[@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains]

Thanks Ron. I was wondering if anyone would notice that detail. I'll try to capture those destination boards in a picture so you can magnify and see the details. It was fun to get that done.

Very cool

Thanks Josiah!

It will be interesting to see how you time the crossing of the east vs west bound commuters. It's going to take some coordination, I'm guessing...

[@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains]

Yes indeed. That's why I had to figure out the schedule and then I'll need to try it out to see if what works on paper works in real life too. Always a challenge. But one I'm looking forward to realizing.

Curious where you found the Geneva station building? Seems pretty close to the one I grew up with.

[@CurtBergStillLoves2PlayTrains]

Hey Joel. I've seen the same model on several layouts. However, I found mine in someone's donation. I didn't purchase it, but when I built my current layout, I thought this station could resemble Geneva quite nicely. Thanks for asking.
