Hey all! I've been thinking about doing this for a long time now, and I finally sat down to do it. I would like to host this blog in lieu of a website. We tried that website thing to little effect. Blogging is really easy and best of all, FREE! Whenever you want things posted to the blog, just e-mail me. If you want pics though, I'll have to get those on CD or something. My e-mail program doesn't support transferring pics to this blog. Let me know what you think.
Everyone, please e-mail me your feedback. I really want to know what everyone thinks. We will further discuss this site at our Jan. 31 meeting.

Open House time.
Every Year, the club hosts an open house for folks to come see the gardens at their best. Our members love to show off our trains and gardens. Many gardens feature miniature worlds with buildings and people. Others focus on the natural aspect of "trains through a garden".
Is it real or a model?
This train is a Shay loco at the blog hosts garden railroad. We hosted an open house on July 4, 2008 where this was taken. Garden Railroaders love to take pics of these trains and fool folks who actually think they are real trains.

My son is the third generation of train fans in our family. His grandfather was a live steamer in Golden, Colorado. My husband is the "trackmaster" of our Kansas Central and Colorado Railroad. Our son knows more about trains than any other 7 year old I know.
Members of MyLargeScale at Marty's September Thingy in Nebraska.
Every year, a friend of ours with a massive layout hosts his "September Thingy". Folks come from all over the country for this. These are members of www.mylargescale.com.
Our members like the real thing too. This is in Chattanooga, Tennessee. "The Long Black Train"
I took this pic in 2006 on our trip to Tennessee. This is the "Long Black Train" featured in the Josh Turner video. This train runs on the historic Tennessee Valley Railroad in Chattanooga.
Busy Mom,
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job. Thank you.
Today, I discovered that a red rubber band from the Wichita Eagle Newspaper delivery can serve as a temporary traction tire for my LGB Mikado until replacements come.
We are looking forward to having the meeting at our home on the 31st.
I have some ideas for a program on the 31st, but would be open to all suggestions for now or later.

Looks great! Congratulations on this new venture! - Sis Kris
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to get here early for the meeting on the 31st, and run yours or my trains, you are welcome.
