Pics wanted

Did anyone take any pics of the train show last weekend, especially of Fred and Millies new layout? I would love to post them on the blog. Let me know.

It seems the weather is turning cold again. We were just teased a little last weekend with weather warm enough for us to put the top down on the convertible and think spring just might be coming. Everyone should be getting ready to clean up their layouts and get ready for Spring and Summer. If you think about it, take some pics and let me know what you do to get ready for Spring and Summer. I'll do a post highlighting your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions.

email these to sstockham1@cox.net

Thanks

Open House time.

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.

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.

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.
