ATLP Rewind - Don Irace & The Providence & Worcester II - May 14, 2024
ATLP Rewind - Originally Released May 14, 2024There's no doubt that Don Irace, famous for his Providence & Worcester layouts, is passionate about operations and, on this episode, we focused on just that. Don tells us about the top 2 things that should be prioritized for good operating sessions and shares some helpful advice on the steps one should take to ensure their railroad will be reliable. He also tells us about setting up remote operations, a practice that has allowed him to participate in sessions from afar and allows others to dispatch his layout from outside the Sunshine State. Later in the show, we make an announcement about a new monthly show featuring Don Irace.Thank you to our show sponsor, Highball Graphics:https://highballgraphics.com/Thank you to our episode sponsor, Oak Hill Model Railroad Track Supply:https://ohrtracksupply.com/
