Operating Sessions

All members of the K & I and NMRA members are welcome to attend and participate in Operating Sessions.

When attending a session, please bring a DCC equipped locomotive and caboose both equipped with Kadee couplers. All our sessions operate with cabooses.  Also, if you have a Digitrax Throttle, please bring that too.  Although there are no restrictions as to what type locomotive to bring we have found that short four axle diesel road locomotives operate more reliably on our layout.  Large locomotives have trouble getting in to some of the tight sidings.

What’s an Operating Session? It’s operating a model railroad layout to realistically emulate the practice of prototype railroads. Want to know more about model railroad operations? Click the link below.

Or visit the K & I when we’re open to the public. We’ll explain all about operating sessions. It’s just one of the many interesting aspects of the model railroading hobby. To find out when we’re open, see our K & I Schedule of Events under CLUB INFO on the main web page for the latest information about when we’ll be open next.
