Wardwell Outing

 Carl was settled in on the "Command Couch" and was talking to Walter over the  hand held radio who was running the trains.  "How many cars is the B&O pulling?  What is running on Track 4?" Walter handled everything like the perfect Dispatcher.

A family of four from Standish stopped by and asked lots of good questions.  Luckily, Tiny was close by and had lots of good answers for them.
The Wardwell group arrived in 3 car loads and they had a very good time.  We had nine MGRS members to help and Mac, Scott, Mike and Ernie all took turns with the golf carts.  The ladies all seemed to enjoy themselves and rewarded us all with sandwiches, cookies, watermelon, chips and drinks!

The close up picture is Tiny's new PIKO engine.  His is Canadian National 7470 a real nice  looking engine.
    Also thanks to  Dennis, Paul and John.  We all had a chance to look in and say hi to Carl and Pat.  They both looked good but are probably tired and will be glad to get a little rest.  I am sure they feel good to be back home.  So far there are only two outings coming up.  One next Thursday and the last on Monday Sept 16th with a group that Pat works with.
