Folks;

I will be hosting a Marklin users.net meeting at my layout from 1230 to 430 pm on January 28th.

The agenda will be informal and will include;
Running trains
Scenery approaches
Digitizations approaches

Some who have seen my layout and appreciate myopic scenery and have good eyesight will enjoy the contests of;
Find the 3 owls on the layout
Count the number of rabbits on the layout

Let me know if you can attend. Looking forward to it.

Thank you

Wish I could be there! Sounds great.

I had to laugh a bit about your rabbit finding contest.
We do a similar thing when showing our 3x5foot layout at shows.
People usually gave up and just wanted to see the trains, but this is always someone who will be commenting on the minutiae.

I look forward to you gents posting some photos.

All the best.

Yes, Jon, thank you VERY MUCH for hosting us. MUCH appreciated.

You have a very impressive collection of locos. BigGrin ThumpUp

Here are a few of the pictures I took. The quality is so, so, but I think those of you who were not able to come will all get the idea of what a nice layout Jon has.

Enjoy.

Thanks again to jcrtrains for hosting! Very nice and detailed layout. Here are some photos I took. They don't fully do this great layout justice.

Fantastic pictures......

I’m so sorry that I missed our get together!

My brother from Montreal called me on Friday morning telling me that he will be coming over with a surprise visitor! My cousin, surprised us with an unannounced visit from Holland! My hands were tied and I’m hoping our next get together will be soon!

BTW there will be a Model Train Show in Barrie on February 18-19 starting @ 10:00 am to 5:00
