I'd like to thank members of module groups who give their time, money and effort to bring our hobby to the fore front of the public. The public doesn't see the hours you spend constructing, finalizing your module(s) and transporting it to the show site the day before.
They don't realize your personal cost to drive to the site and possibly staying over night. To the public it is a bunch of guys having fun with their trains. You bring the best there is, whether tin plate or very modern brass. You probably answer the same question ten times each session and put up with some clown dropping coins to short out a rail.
Thank you, John in Lansing, ILL
However, the payback is watching the kids eyes light up when they see all the action. I especially like the ones that run around the layout as a train goes around trying to keep up. However, it is a lot of work, but what else would I be doing with the time?
