Helping out a fellow Train Guy

Some of the Train Guys showed up this morning at John's house to lend a hand.   We spent a few hours weeding, trimming, mulching, mowing, and digging out trees.  The guys did a great job, and John was very appreciative.

John's Corgi greeted me with a bite to the pants leg.
Apparently I need to work on my bedside manner . . .

Stillmeadow Crossing at West Manchester Mall

The Train Guys did a display for the public Saturday and Sunday at West Manchester Mall in York.  As always, we entertained wide-eyed children (and wide-eyed adult males).

Even Santa Claus stopped by to enjoy the trains.  
Rumor has it that one of the Train Guys slipped him a  Lionel catalog
and a note stating that he has been really good this year!

Train imprinting begins . . .

Fine Scale Model Railroader Expo

I attended the Fine Scale Model Railroader Expo in Lancaster on Fri. and Sat.  The Expo features clinics from some of the big names in the hobby:  Dave Frary, Mike Tylick, Bob Mitchell, Marty McGuirk, and others.  Many Craftsman Kit manufacturers were there as well:  Bar Mills, Sierra West, Crow River, Hunterline, and more.

Here are photos of some of the incredibly detailed models:

Stillmeadow Crossing at Agricultural and Industrial Museum of York

The Train Guys and museum attendees all had a great time on Saturday with the display.  Now with 16 modules, we were able to run some nice long trains.

Stillmeadow Crossing at Stillmeadow Church

The Stillmeadow Crossing Modular Train Group had their first public display this weekend.  We set up in the church lobby as part of Stillmeadow Church's Car Show.  It was well-attended, and the visitors seemed to enjoy the layout.  Or maybe they enjoyed the air conditioning and the bake sale next to the layout . . . hard to say.  But, one thing is for sure:  the group members had a great time.

Almost as fun as riding a train
