Designed to operate like a real railroad, worked with diesel locomotive battery-operated power trains running 2 locomotives with 16-20 cars in various scenarios as tourist trains, a switch back, a unit coal train, and a working prototype of the Evansville Western branch lines through small town granaries in southern Illinois. For a real switching challenge, 3 town locals that work industries have been added as puzzles for operators to stay off the main track to deliver and pick up freight cars. Operators are required to keep in contact with dispatch for traffic control by radio, and are provided a remote control for the engine, a map, and a manifest. See you tube with several videos with Bluestone Southern in the title from RR OPS by attending friends.
