Don Bozman hosts APN Operating
Sessions on his fantastic layout
In April, 2006 and again in April, 2007, APN members returned to Don Bozman's home
for an operation session on his famous "Great" Great Northern
layout. In addition to the pleasure of operating on such a quality
layout, and being treated so well by such gracious hosts, there was
historical significance, too, as the very first operating session on
this same layout ... was manned by members of APN! Below are a
couple of slide shows, one each for 2006 and 2007
