Happy Easter!!!
Hectic two days at the museum.
Friday, as referenced by attached photos, was Easter Train Day along with some unusual visitors. Today, saturday, was giving the Kid's Club youngsters some experience in running multiple trains on each mainline using TMCC & DCS, photos to come later. No major issues !
Two of my 4-6-0's worked part of the day,
Relieved by the Challenger Bunny when the need arose,

And a special visit from noneother than the dreaded Darth Bunny,

I know this is photo fun but no new photos and thought this story would be interesting to all. My brother just came to visit me yesterday from New Mexico after 20 years and 1 of the things I did was show him the trains. Well I have some of my grandfathers and fathers trains that we use to run as a kid together when I showed him the trains running I could see in his eyes the memeries coming back to him. After running the first train he looked in me engine closet and seen more that he remembered he would say now can we run this next. After we ran trains for a while he thanked me I said why ? He said for showing me the train that he really enjoyed seeing me and the trains again. I said it was not a problem I enjoy showing them to people that's what this hobbie all about. Then he said when he gets back home that he has some trunks of my fathers trains that he will ship me he never even opened the trunk since my father gave him the train some 20 years ago . It was great seeing my brother and to share the trains. What a great feeling .

Nice story bigdog ... trains are a bonding agent
Some shots around the layout including some before and after
Nice story Bigdogjeff! That's what it's about. Memories and creating memories. Whenever the young one's come around here, they always need to see them run, building memories.
Great pics everyone, thanks and Happy Easter!

RT: Thanks for sharing the pics. The set with the 685 Hudson, the 2201WS was the set that I recieved for Christmas, 1953. I still have the set and I always run it.
Bigdogjeff: Thanks for sharing the story.
Everyone: Thanks for sharing!
Have a Happy Easter!

Yes, nice story Bigdogjeff! Thanks for sharing it with us.
silentman, you've got the beginning of a really nice mountain. I like it's size in comparison to the trains. Thumbs-up!
Spankybird, those old electrics are pretty cool!
dougdagrump, nice! I've not seen a locomotive with bunny ears before! I don't know where I've been all these years. Really liked the Darth Bunny!
srguy, Enjoyed seeing pictures of the layout! Really like that Central Railroad of New Jersey Train Master. Very nice.
Here's another photo taken on the layout. It's New York Central Ten-Wheeler #827 pulling into the Maryville Station.
Happy Easter everyone! Bo

What will Wally do with him if he catches him?
Great job guys. Got some new posters too. Really good. Where is 53? Figured he'd have a good Holiday scene for us.
