>>1459336>So at the NMMRC, how does rolling stock work? Like do people bring and run only their own shit or is it more of a pool?Both. Club itself owns a few locos and a bunch of freight cars, and we also have our own personal shit in the Operations pool if we choose. I have about 20 of my cars in the ops pool, as well as a few locomotive lashups. Whatever is out on the layout is fair game for anyone to use. Cars and locos to be used have to meet a few base rules.
Otherwise there are three guys who have modern-type steam excursion trains which roll whenever one of us feels like it, and there's a handful of passenger trains ready to be played with also. I built one specifically tailored to the layout (Amtrak Arrowhead, Minneapolis to Superior/Duluth).
