A few house rules:
- No surprise visits! If you would like to operate on the railroad, please gain permission in advance.
- If you have to cancel your attendance at a session, please do so in a timely manner so that an operator on the stand-by list may be offered your position.
- Please plan to attend the entire session as an early departure may adversely affect the experience of the other operators.
- Please do not bring guests without first gaining permission.
- No children under the age of 16.
- You may park in the street or the driveway. Limit parking in the driveway to the left hand side, as far forward as the lamp post; do not park on the right side.
- The powder room is on the first floor, opposite the door to the basement.
- Soft drinks are available in the train room's refrigerator, please help yourself. A recyclables container is located opposite the foot of the stairs.
- Handle locomotives and rolling stock with extreme care. They are not only expensive, but have very delicate parts, including but not limited to, grab irons, brake wheels, etc.
- Hand throws on switches are for decoration only! All switches are powered and are operated either by a tower operator or via toggle switch on the fascia.
- When switching within an area, “normalize” all switches when leaving the area. The switch is in the normal position when the panel indicator is green.
- Have fun!
