What a great day meeting everyone at Bob’s house today and what a fantastic railway!
I am just going to post a bunch of pictures that we took today and I will let others chime in on what was going on in them.

It looked like EVERYONE was headed to Bob’s this morning!
(and yes, this was the traffic we were stuck in just 2-miles from Bob’s!)

I was wondering why Bob installed a short track near the turntable… Seen in this picture.

Now I know why. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/139vinny/Trains/DSC09303_zps1738fc0b.jpg)

Great idea for loading and unloading visiting locomotives.
