Boston Metro Hi-Railers Open House

Jim  One of these open house days will not conflict with other stuff one of these days  I am going to drag Vinny up there one day when it calms down

Ben, I understand...  Whenever you're going to be in the Boston area let me know and I can arrange a visit...

Here are 3 more views of scenes on the layout.

The progress looks great!  I was at the Open House last December and will be there again tomorrow. Looking forward to it, see you there! 

Jim, like Ben I'm committed this weekend. I copied your post and emailed it to my friends and family in your vicinity. Hope you have a great turnout.

Tonkin, look me up when you arrive...  I'll be the Dispatcher again so I should be easy to find...  I am usually at the workbench in the workshop area...

Lionelbill, sorry you'll miss it but I'll give post a report here tomorrow night...  Invitation still stands: let me now when you're in the area and I can show you around...

I attended the open house yesterday and it was a great time! The main layout is comming along nicely and there was a good turn out on a gloomy cold morning. It was a great family day with beutiful Boston & Maine equipment running on the main layout and the seperate traditional "Toy train" layout with multiple trains running at one had me mezmorized!  There were plenty of activities for the kids with a seperate 3 track layout with Thomas and friends that all the kids had a "Hands on" at the controls as well as a seperate Polar Express loop that the kids could run. A great family day with a great bunch of guy's! If your ever in the area when there is another open house you should definitly check out the club and chat with it's members! 

Chris, thank you for coming yesterday and thanks for the good words...  It was great talking with you even for a brief time!  The Dispatchers position can get very hectic at times!

We even had a visit from Jim Katz and his wife who came down from Saco...  Don't know if you saw him while you were there...  Also saw Wally Brooks very briefly...

General thanks to all Forum members who came...

We have not scheduled our Open House events for 2013 yet; but I'll post here when we do...

I just want to congratulate all the members for the terrific job they have done on this layout.  It was great to see you all at the open house. I will try to come more often.
