Train Night In Carmel: Wonderful Friends | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Scrapiron ScherOGR Forum Member

We had an absolutely great time tonight running trains and being with great friends. Ginny and I are thankful to have made such wonderful friends with the model railroaders we have met. Tonight was a perfect example. Ginny and I had the pleasure of meeting Bill McDermott for the first time. Bill was nice enough to bring us a nice dessert and something even nicer. Bill took two wonderful pieces of old wood and created a masterpiece that Ginny and I will treasure. We had never met Bill before and in he walks with this magnificent gift. Train folks . . . . amazing. Our good friend, Doug Neumann took the wonderful nighttime shots of Munoz as we turned down the lights and the city came to life. Enjoy.

We have added some more wonderful photos from our good friend Jay Morales. Thanks, Jay !!

Skip, Thanks for the great photos, the incredible canolis and the amazing linzer tarts. We still have the photos. The canolis . . . . . .

Thanks for the kind words, Frank. I miss you on the Forum and I look forward to the day you are here in Carmel to visit us. The door is open for you. "Ray's" is one of our favorite structures and it is highlighted with a place of prominence on the main street of Munoz. Your work is masterful and I hope there is another layout in your future. "you're in our Hall of Fame.

PS: Considering the attractive ladies on the street corner and in the window of your wonderful cafe, the milkman must be going home to a wonderful woman.
