Niel I read Garden Railways and I must say that it is one hell of a magazine. Keep up the good work and continue to bring us garden railroaders quality literature on this fantastic hobby.

I attended Trainfest on Saturday. This was the first time I made it to a Trainfest. I took my wife, my 11 year old son and 9 year old daughter. We all had a nice time. I have never seen so many operating layouts in one place. And they covered all scales. It was a great place to get additional ideas for your layout. We spent over three hours walking through the displays. The rest areas they had set up through out the building were nice, we needed to rest our feet about once an hour and there was ample space available to sit. Most of the major manufacturers were there showing their soon to be released products,. Lionel, MTH, Atlas, etc.
