A glorious Saturday; not so nice Sunday. Thanks to Stephen James,
Suzanne Aagaard, the Alburys, Mike Lister, Rudi and Phil for many photos. More photos
welcome, particularly if they offer something not seen in the Gallery
already.

They always do a great job of the entrance display.
Here's Dan on Saturday with eight on board and one following on the hand
car. 952 riders rode the train at the Fall Fair;
680 on Sunny Saturday, and 272 on Soggy Sunday. The record train tow was 19 people. Congratulations to all who participated!
There was a train holdup on Sunday! Our first!!
Always fun to have kids running the
hand car
Our Information table yielded a few new members
and a generous donation box - over $1200. All these funds will go towards
the Miniature Railway project.
Star of the show was Dan Parson's Steam train,
fuelled by coal on Saturday and propane on Sunday during the rain.
Brian Crilly
showed his Plantation Chloe, an operable steam train. He has also started
a Shay; hopefully we will see these on the main track sometime in the future
Geri Parsons made our day with a $5000 donation that will go a long way
towards building the railway
