It was good to see over a dozen members of MGRS arrive early today to meet the Maine Veterans from the Scarborough home who came to visit us at the Mall. They had a good time and they all seemed to enjoy seeing the sites of the Mall, the trains, and meeting Santa as he made the presentation of gifts from MGRS to them. Carl had checked with Jeanne who said they wanted to have some structures to go with the train set we gave them last year. Carl had 3 or possibly 4 nice packages made up for them which Santa Claus handed out after giving a very nice talk. He does a great job and is very sincere which is why he IS the REAL Santa. Our own Mall press photographer took a lot of excellent photos, Thank you James very much! Excellent job.

The remainder of the regular day was scheduled for Tiny, John, Benjamin and Jim in the AM. Here is a little video of their trains running. Tiny had a good looking Maine Central freight which featured a very realistic trailer transport from St. Johnsbury, which drew several compliments from the people today. He also had a novelty car with "Tweety and Sylvester" remember them? Ben was able to run his LGB on the middle level. He really loved the way it smoked and I have to say he really did get it going good! Here are some train videos from today. Please take a look ~ Click here:
As I left Carl went over to Santa and thanked him and said what a good job he did today. Carl, Mac and Santa will all stay to 8Pm tonight and we thank them, They do a great job every day, and so do all the other members who continue to work hard, donating their time and efforts to give a gift to thousands of people every day that are pausing and enjoying our trains run by.
