SPRING OPEN HOUSE
It was a great day for running trains outdoors! But as is generally the case, we did have some quirky moments as our trains exhibited a mind of their own.
We all worked diligently to keep the trains running. and it all worked out.
Jim Lewis' grandson, Jackson
spend the day running trains and showing off the railroad.
Jim Holt was pretty excited to show off
the new improvements. A roller coaster, a beach scene, a Ferris wheel and
of course, the street lights. I also gave out Engineers bandannas.
The kids loved the roller coaster and the fish in the pond. Some even
watched the train. The adults seemed to like the bandannas. Lots of
pictures were taken and video too, but not by me, so I don’t have a lot of
pictures. The wife and I spent most of the time talking to friends.
The train, as always happens,
had its share of derails and unhooking, but between the Aristo train and my
Bachmann streetcar, I was able to make it through the day. A few people asked
about the club and some even took literature, so maybe we’ll see. Nice to
see other club members there too. I’ve seen a lot of club layouts, but it
was the first time members saw mine.
Al and Bobbie Schmidt had similar experiences as did Jim Lewis and Jim Holt.
Here are some photos from our layouts:
