Tramp,

No photos.My train room was not meant to have that many people in it.Very crowded.

Most importantly,IMHO,seven of them were youngsters who really seemed to enjoy watching two trains go around the layout.
I do not have any operating accessories and was surprised that they had so much interest.One of the adults told me that he was inspired by this to get out his trains and start on the long planned layout when he returned to his home in north Georgia.

For me it was a very satisfying afternoon.

Tramp,ANG and Murph,

Thank you.

I really was surprised by how much all seemed to enjoy the visit.
Ages of the visitors were between 4 and 65.

It was a very nice experience for me too. :)

Sounds like a recipe for a pretty reliable show; good job!

Don't hear that kind of instrument very often.

Thank you.
