More Good Deeds
Just a quick note of appreciation to Carl Churchill, Paul Corbett and Mac McLaughlin who made the effort yesterday to travel to the home of MGRS member Betty Reilly and her husband of New Harbor Me. Betty is a kind, sweet and enthusiastic member who appreciated the help to get her layout up and running. The guys did all the maintenance and track work including replacing 4 foot diameter curves with wider diameter. Thanks to all that volunteered and helped out. No photos but lots of smiles!

Volunteering your time to help others to enjoy the adventure of garden railroading not only puts smiles on the railroad owner, it helps to build comradery with those in the club. The different knowledge of the different volunteers really is beneficial for information to take home with you too. If I was to start over again I would surly do it different. But more importantly like the Station Master said, it creates many smiles.
Thank you Mr. Deere, well said.
Thanks to everyone who selflessly gave of their time and knowledge to upgrade Betty's layout.
Since I had worked with Carl on the layout installation last year, it was clear then that the 4 foot diameter curves would not handle some of Betty's engines very well - so an upgrade was definitely needed.
I'm just glad to hear that this crew was able to take care of the issues before the 'heavy garden railroad season' got underway...
