          then we figure we've pretty much achieved the goal of having
        
        
          what the prototype looks like even though it may not be exact.
        
        
          
            MRH:
          
        
        
          Tell me about your Monday night group?
        
        
          
            Rob:
          
        
        
          Probably about 13 or 14 years ago Pete Johnson started
        
        
          the group on Monday nights. He knew of several layouts in the
        
        
          area and thought wouldn’t it be a great idea if we got together
        
        
          and worked on them to get them to the point where we could
        
        
          operate them? Pete really enjoys operations as do I [ed: Pete is
        
        
          a pro railroader]. So he contacted several of us and we started
        
        
          getting together once a week, either working on a layout or
        
        
          operating on one.
        
        
          19: This is definitely a pure double-deck layout. Rob uses
        
        
          museum-like lighting hidden behind valances. From the
        
        
          aisles the layout lighting is both dramatic and unobtrusive.
