Default A fun visit

I took a little trip over to my friend Chris's this evening - you folks may know him better by his Gauge handle "Interurban".

The occasion was to return some train stuff of his that had been dropped off at my place...and to get a look at his new layout. We also took a side trip to his LHS - it's a great one and I picked up a real bargain while I was there. You can never have too many BLI Mikado's, I always say. hehehe

The hospitality was great, with lots of pizza and beer. I even got to run my new engine on Chris's layout - which I must say is coming along GREAT!!!

Here's a shot of the man himself, with avid model railroader and grandson William in the background.

Looks like you had a fun visit Val. You and William look good Chris. I only wish I could do that Bob, my scratchbuilding has really slowed down lately.

Hi Guys, Yes Val likes our "Pickering Pizza" we were both starving by the time we got home from Railview.
It was a good day.

Val enjoyed being led all over by William
