Back in April I mentioned the possibility of continued operations on the late Lou Schultz\u2019s Chesapeake and Ohio layout (Maybe the Sun Hasn\u2019t Set<\/a>).\u00a0 Well possibility became reality this past Saturday as many of the former operating group assembled once again in Covington.\u00a0 Yes, trains once again rolled on the Attighany Sub (an unofficial term often used for the layout).<\/p>\n

We ran what was termed a “test” session.\u00a0 We had a reduced crew of 16 and ran a four hour session.\u00a0 The local organizers had pre-staged the layout and cleaned the track.\u00a0 The fast clock was plugged in at 12:01 p.m., and trains started moving.<\/p>\n

As was expected, there were a few glitches, some operational, some electrical\/mechanical.\u00a0 But considering that the layout had been dormant for over a year and that no one there had ever staged the layout before, things ran surprisingly well.<\/p>\n

It was great seeing old friends again.\u00a0 I think I speak for most everyone in saying that we want to continue doing this.\u00a0 But there was also a sadness in not having Lou, Bill and Shawn present.<\/p>\n

Our heartfelt thanks go out to Lou’s wife, Dee, and the family for their kindness and the opportunity to keep Lou’s dream alive.<\/p>\n

On the way back home, Wayne Robichaux and I analyzed the session and stopped to partake of a meal at the Lagniappe Restaurant in Denham Springs.\u00a0 What a way to spend and end the day . . . a fine day indeed!<\/p>\n
