Busy Tuesday

  The Mall was not to busy, in fact it was very pleasant as it was easier to carry on a conversation with people.  But we did have a lot of interesting visitors and many members that stopped by today.   The Hartmann's from Bartlet NH stopped by and took the tour as well as at least a dozen members over the course of the day that either visited, signed up or worked on the display: These were  Mike, Art, Scott, Carl, Mac, Jim H, Dick C, Tiny, John, Hunk, Grace, David B, and Santa himself who donated a nice G scale boxcar diorama of Santa's Workshop to the Club and he is getting another for the Veterans Home!  Thank you Santa, you are the Very Best!

  Tiny and Dick did the operating as Jim and I gabbed with the onlookers. Hunk and I were testing out my Lionel version of Thomas on the Circus loop and we had lot's of fun showing people that as well as the Christmas tree which Scott did a great job on decorating.  It was a very good day.  We have all ready made good friends with several 'regular' visitors and our goal of entertaining kids and adults is definitely being achieved. In fact it is fun just to be there and hang a round for a while. There were lots of trains running also.  As it turns out I only took pictures and videos of some of them, Please click here to take a look:
