It seems Walthers donated an entire PRR Broadway Limited trainset to the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum.

It's good to see companies doing good for the community and history.

Yeah, I'll go a couple thumbs-up on  that.... specially since they had the good taste to make it PRR.... not that I'm particularly biased or nothin'...

I am part of a group organizing a train show in the spring, and the level of support we have been getting from model railroad manufacturers and hobby shops for our raffle table is amazing.

Lionel donated a train set (Pennsylvania Flyer) without being asked for that, just a freight car or two would have been good.  Other companies like Exactrail, Intermountain, and so on.  VIA Rail donated a round trip for two.

A local discount store donated 5000 bags, and a gift certificate too.

Proceeds from the raffle will support a residence at the hospital for families to stay at while their children recieve treatment for serious issues (life limiting illness, pain management, end-of-life care), so I am hoping that the raffle is a big success.

Come see us this May: ottawatrainexpo.com

Man, you must have been really tired, after sitting there with 5,000 bags under your eyes...
