Sunday AM a few stopped by to run trains. I will post pics shortly that I have and others who were there will hopefully add theirs.
I do want to thank those who did show, and hope they all enjoyed themselves. I know I had a great time and really enjoyed the train running company
First day this year the line was open for a run and the ghost train made it’s inaugeral run

And then I started having trouble with my camera. Rooster brought his new Superliners and his F40. I would have liked to have gotten a few shots Ken couldn’t make it but he was thought of

Thanks for having us today Dave both Zachariah and myself had a great time. Ken as you stated we will hook up this spring/summer but the cupcakes were excellent! I ended up taking like 50+ pictures plus some camera video but I know the rest got plenty as well and I’m sure they will post. To my surprise we were the last to arrive?? However upon arrival I was greeted with a handshake from Professor Dad Phd.BS I didn’t think that ole crab got up that early?? Don’t he look great in the AM!! Hey dad who’s Richard Cranium?

Ken Brunt said:I'm sorry I didn't make it down to your place Ken. I would have liked to but wanted to be home before dark. That would only give me an hour there which wouldn't have been enough.
Like Rooster told me, we ain't all that far away, we can do it again anytime...........
If you do plan a get together with the PA boys, let me know. Your not too far for a day-trip or a camping weekend.
This one needs to be cropped and used as an avatar: The Cyclops !!!

You only took 75? I have almost 300. 200 of the Super Liners alone As soon as I wade through them I’ll post up a few.
Many Thanks to Hollywood for having us. The cupcakes were delicious An empty flat…it appears the CVS Ry has no paying customers
