Hey Trackers! Well NTD is now in the books. We had a great time and made a lot of kids young and old alike very happy! Many thanks to Eldon Farrell, Lee DeGolyer, Jim Rattigan, and Adrian Elliott for their help in setup and operating the layout. Thanks to Scott Smiley for the use of Joe Maverick's O31 vintage layout. All who attended were very impressed with and complimentary of it!

We ran Eldon's O27 Amtrak train and my 736 Berkshire freight thru out the day. We had some derailments but all in all it ran very smoothly.

There were 53 people that boarded AMTRAK on Sat morn and about 50 visitors during the day(double our numbers from last year) despite some serious traffic delays on Lamar Blvd and Cesar Chavez. We also ran for the Sun am passengers(26) and tore down after AMTRAK departed about 10:00am

The AMTRAK personnel thanked us profusely for being there and said we made NTD a huge success! Without us it would not have happened!

Rick
