Tiny and John at the Mall ~

 We had a good day!  The time went by fast.  Tiny brought in his Maine Central Number 470 Steam Engine with some very nicely decorated Maine Central passenger cars. They got lots of compliments!  We ran my new RS3 Canadian Pacific and my old B&A sound car on  the upper level with the clubs GP 38-2 on the "inner loop".  Our new Thomas ran great and is an instant hit with people.  We generally run it "on request" by putting it on the big outer loop along with what ever else is running.  One or two times around the layout is usually enough.  He is fast!  Today Paul stopped by and help Tiny clean one of his novelty cars.  Walter comes in almost every day and he is very helpful.  Carl and Mac came in early for the PM shift and that gave us a chance to all get together.  Last evening must have been a riot!  For a couple of hours it was "Pet day ~ take a picture of your pet with Santa Claus"   There were dogs and cats lined up to get their picture taken!    We get to see everything and we are having fun.  New applications are coming in,  lots of people are meeting us and learning about G scale.  Members from way up north are coming down to visit.  Today it was Keith Knowlton who we had a good talk with and saw pictures of his layout which is very good indeed.  Click here to see a few snips and shots from today:
