MGRS supports Maine Veterans Home

Paul Corbett has been maintaining a small train layout at the Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough. He visits frequently to clean the track and on a regular basis will change the railroad theme from cityscape to western theme to others he has in his inventory.
Today Frank Howard and I had a chance to meet up with Paul at the Vets Home to update the rolling stock. I installed a push button similar to the ones at the mall to allow some interaction. Frank set up the small Piko steam engine that the club purchased and it sounded awesome.
The staff liked the push button and the Veterans were taking turns pushing the button. 
The attached photo is Don, one of the Veterans, who sat with us while we upgraded the layout.
