RE: Layout Downtown



That’s great news.  Thanks everyone for contributing yesterday.  Carrie (AMLI) also expressed to me on several occasions how nice the layout was and how she was surprised that it was as big a draw as it was.  And that was before 1PM.  From the money, it sounds like 1-5 was even busier (we only had $110 when I left). 

 

She also expressed how nice she thought everyone was, and how well you all interacted with the public.  She must have previously thought we were just a bunch of stodgy old geezers.

 

Having a venue such as this (whether it’s with AMLI or else ware) during the holidays is a great opportunity for the club to share the hobby with the next generation and for us to refill our coffers.  Train shows are great, but train shows attract “train” people.  Layout locations like this attract everyone (hence newcomers). 

 

Bill, the plexiglass looks great.  Thank you and Rick for undertaking the project.

I again want to thank all those that came out on Saturday to run trains.  We had another good day.  We brought in $324 to the club.  We also had the person from AMLI make the statement that she hopes she has an empty building for us to come back to next year.  She saw how much attention it drew.  Also, for those who may not know, Rick has decided that he will be at the layout to run trains on the Sundays that follow Christmas and New Years.  If you want to run trains, I am sure he wouldn't mind company. 

 

Thanks,
