We hold a monthly open house on the 2nd Sunday from 2p - 4p each month except Feb & Mar as well as Aug & Sept. With Mother's Day falling on the 2nd Sunday in May we had decided to pass on this one but the town of Waynesville was holding a celebration of "The Last Shot Fired in the Civil War" this weekend. We all have Civil War type trains so we held it today to show support for the festivities. We had the largest continuous crowds since last Christmas!  Several young families with "train-nut children" stayed most of the day. It was a good time had by all.

Member Larry from SC ran a Premiere Seaboard F3 ABBA with a long consist of scale cars along side several early steamers to the children's delight. We also have a 4 x 8 North Pole layout with the Polar Express and a Thomas set running.

c.sam, sounds like a great time and I really liked this scene: the harbor in the foreground, how you did the town scene with its backdrops and the backdrop itself.  They all work really well together.  My only question is about the track in the far lower right corner.  Is this a training track for engineers to test their braking abilities?

Thanks for the great comments fellas - we really appreciate them!

 

Peter, we should get on the yard crew to install a bumper at that stub someday soon.

 

Seriously,  for any of you who are remotely considering a move to a better climate, these western NC mountains are hard to beat. Asheville has been voted "the best place in the country to retire to" by several noted travel and vacations guides. 3 national breweries have located here this past year (great water!) and the natural beauty of the area is wonderful. Not to mention all that beer  

 

We'd love to have you locate here and join our club and there are two good HO clubs and a regional Garden RR Club here as well.

 

(Shameless personal plug here) I'm a realtor/broker with the best respected regional RE Company and will gladly help you find a great home! We are members of The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and can even help you find a good local realtor to help you sell your home up there. For you guys in Florida, a nice mountain home is a great place to escape the heat!

Sam, that flag is NOT the Stars and Bars of the confederates.  Now it may represent the VI battle flag.
