"Playing with trains" doesn't really describe my most recent experience.
Last night I joined a few guys who have been getting together to run the St.Louis train yard circa 1969. There are multiple tracks, engines, cars, buildings, and a schedule to follow. Our job was to move cars around from place to place all the while observing signals, changing tracks by throwing switches and paying attention to where other trains were.
I did pretty good for the new guy. I did manage to jump the track way too many times. I will do better next time.
The guys were welcoming and helped me out while moving their own trains. They even invited me to join them next month.

Looks like great fun! Reminds me of the impressive setup we had when I was growing up.
