Jim Jenkins Open House

About a dozen members, neighbors, and friends visited the home of Jim and Ann Jenkins and enjoyed their hospitality and, of course, the great garden railway

here viewed by Jim (left), John Jackson, (center) and Tiny Lee (right). The railway is replete with a waterfall, a coal mine, a wild-west scene and much more. There is so much to see on this railway, it will be covered in more detail in the next issue of The Iron Horse. A highlight of the day was the exhibition by Eric Schade of his 1:20.3 scratch-built, steam powered Forney locomotive pulling two scratch-built passenger cars.

Folks of all ages enjoyed the day which bodes well for the continued existence of the next generation of model railroaders.

Thanks again to Jim and Ann for opening up their home and garden railway for all to enjoy.
