We had our first open house for the In-ko-pah Railroad today, and it was a blast! Cris and I both had a lot of fun. Lots of folks from the local club showed up, plus a few friends and neighbors we’d invited. The new canopy made a great place to socialize out of the sun. It’ll be even better once we get rid of the old storage shed which restricts the view of the railroad.
One of our friends kindly loaned us her patio furniture and also provided some tasty homemade snacks.
I’ve been running trains back and forth on the stretch of completed track for about three weeks now without a hitch, so naturally there were a few derailments and stalls today. I guess that’s the model railroading corellary to Murphy’s Law: Nothing goes wrong until there’s an audience. 
No pics yet, but hopefully I’ll have some posted soon.
