Dam, Your "before" pics look too close to my "present" conditions in my garage! too much junk!

Congrates on the open house, I think my layouts a bit to small to warrent any such thing on its own. The closest to an open house I've done so far has been having friends over for dinner. But only a few ever venture out to the layout.

   Have fun with your trains

Hey, that's pretty nifty! [tup] I wish other layout owners could be so informative during tours. I think the explanation of the purpose of the railroad is an excellent move. Most of us just take it for granted that the other fans know what we are doing.

Again, excellent job! [bow]

Harold good job on the clean up. The pictures are great especially the last one, but they don't get larger. I had to download and put in one of my picture programs to see. But nice explanations on your layout for the visitors. Looks very cool.

I have a web article about the experiences of holding an open house for my railroad in November 2004.
