Today, Sunday July 19th was our turn to host the open house for our layout. Because of our far North location we weren't expecting many people to make the trek, especially since there was only one layout this Sunday (usually there are two). We did have 14 people come by and I can honestly say it was nice with that number as I had time to spend talking to each visitor individually and getting to know more about them and their layouts.
Another advantage of having the open house is that it FORCED me to once again clean up my basement. Apparently someone have been sneaking in a night and making a mess! We had a refreshment table, a information table, and greeting table. I ran both of my new locos - the C420 (Atlas Gold) and the F7 (Intermountain RR). Both ran flawlessly the entire three hours and never missed a beat. I almost had a rear end collision as I was yapping and didn't notice the C420 had almost caught up with the F7.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures as I was having too much fun with the visitors!

Sorry that several of us in the NCI weren't able to support you today, as we were helping Trainmaster get up and running in their new store. We did direct several people over to your layout. Glad you had a good day!
ReplyDeleteScott,
ReplyDeleteI understand completely. My layout will always (hopefully) be here and available for visitors. It was more important that TrainMasters get the help. Thanks for sending people my way!
