Every year I have held this Open House at Christmas time. Just a bunch of friends getting together to run trains for a Christmas"present" for our town and the surrounding area. My wife make cookies for all, and although it does get tiring it is fun as well.
We split up two weekends with 10 3-hour sessions. We get TV and newspaper coverage. We ask only for donations for Komen Cancer.
Now the BIG news......we have had 815 visitors so far with 5 more sessions to go! HO,ho,ho!

That's great, Jim! Just as good as taking the trains to the people. The smiles are well worth the effort.
Fantastic Jim!!! Looks like your attendance records will be broken this year!

Excellent Jim!
Nice work, and for a good cause.
Jim:
This is certainly a great example of give back to the community. Hope you set a record this year from contributions of the Cancer Fund.
Well done, Jim.
Keep up the great work

That's great to hear!

Hey Jim! It's great to hear from you again. It has been some years since my wife and I visited your model railroad. We were sure impressed not only by your large model pike but your wife and your kind hospitality. We have not had occasion to travel in your area but if we do I hope we can visit you again.
