On February 19, after a year or so of construction, enough track and wiring had been completed that we could have a test session, which I nicknamed a "sea trial," on the HO scale Southern New England. 

A total of eight people and two canines participated in the event. 

I discussed the Sea Trial on Model Railcast Show #99 www.modelrailcast.com

Also, check out the Issue 7 of Model Railroad Hobbyist. My Getting Real column will feature a full run down on the SNE Sea Trial.
