A group of at least two dozen shared sun shine, trains, stories, sandwiches and adventure as some of the Maine Veterans from Scarborough came to visit MGRS at Carl’s layout in Buxton. It was an exciting start as they got stuck on the way in cutting across a wet area. Carl and Mac quickly solved that with their tractors teamed together to easily pull them across. They set up under a great open tent like structure providing shade and picnic tables and chairs. A perfect spot to watch trains go by. Walter and Paul kept all the trains operating perfectly as people looked at everything. Conversation was easy and enjoyable. I learned a lot about the Merchant Marine. The North Atlantic storms and U-boats, The Baltimore Orioles, Faneuil Hall and much more from a great guy named John and his friend another Merchant Mariner. Carl and Scott and Mac where giving great Golf Cart rides. The staff that came with them was super! The time flew by quickly and it was as much a pleasure for MGRS as it was for our guests. Even Sophie got in on the fun. All together, it was a very good time with a bunch of very nice people. Thank you Veterans!Note: Click on 'Home' below to return to the regular Blog.
