Talking Ops with Don Irace - Marias Pass Operations with Alan Schroeder
How does Alan Schroeder bring the Marias Pass to life? It's done with an action packed operating session! On this episode of Talking Ops with Don Irace, Alan returns to Around The Layout Podcast to share how he's taken research on the prototype and translated it to his layout, entertaining over a dozen operators and keeping them on their toes with subtle changes that make each session unique. Alan also shares how RiverRail helps keep the Marias Pass and several area layouts connected and moving forward.
