A water recreation scene is part of the diorama Monday at the Great Falls Model Railroad Club’s Op ’til You Drop 2024 at 144 Mill St. in Auburn. The all-day operating session allowed participants and spectators to see — and in some cases operate — the numerous trains around the large layout. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal

The wireless hand-held controller emulates a prototype diesel control stand that works in tandem with their built-in operating system to control trains on multiple tracks without having to plug in at various stations around the giant dioramas.

Roger Plummer watches his trains go around the tracks Monday morning at the Great Falls Model Railroad Club’s Op ’til You Drop 2024, an all-day operating session at its headquarters at 144 Mill St. in Auburn. “As a kid, I rode the locomotives with my grandfather at Rigby Yard in South Portland where he was the yardmaster. That’s when I got hooked on trains. Now I’m just a couple years short of retiring as a yard engineer and locomotive mechanic for St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad in Auburn,” Plummer said.
