It was our hardest to pull together as we lost a couple regular members of our Historical Society that were quite active. We are a Historical Society that is teaching history through a train display, we are not a train club.
There is talk about not setting up in 2020, and that is quite difficult for me personally as I see the positive impact that this has on our local community and the kids, but reality is- it isn't something that we can do without a few more locals stepping up.

Anyhow, enough of the gloom- enjoy some pictures of our latest. Thanks to a couple OGR members that contacted me and donated some running stock to go on the display. The Berk that we received from one of the members logged just under 40 hours of run time. It means a lot when total strangers believe in what we do.81147724_470473400539283_723739402836115456_n81383939_485919712064458_7770664306068160512_n80874686_835292840274834_9014911036024684544_n81228586_841057453011752_7695298719628918784_n81239177_1416474265169146_6514057145565052928_n81456946_1539310156208300_8716240659528286208_n81540694_2453117648238829_7498217470872780800_n80553088_455193658717142_6366060256241385472_n82278037_1323745927808606_7192267970918219776_n81310011_2247236675376050_2333225062108233728_n81474583_2388667064566731_4211293151161221120_n81038385_2456502334572901_3270233887820742656_n81208500_516464912619506_2396155726088110080_n81520840_588831645303610_340511965073899520_n81207904_1769077326562996_4356121673175400448_n81163551_2685582431519862_4185035499229937664_n81821853_539007193623607_5367037157951143936_n80842290_510645859550627_7723957382832717824_n81484890_608072576674009_973979994390790144_n

As always, very impressive display, Roger. And it looks like you attracted a large and varied crowd - happy to see so many kids. I sincerely hope that you can find a few more helping hands to keep the event going. 

I really love the “historic” buildings with the matching photos, especially the Hotel/Livery. Since they are all local, I assume they are scratch built??? Though you may want to beef up your Police Department... you seem to have some extremely sketchy characters wandering around town

I did 7 different local buildings from the 1915 time frame. The smaller buildings like the hotel were laser cut by Andre when he was still around. I would email him the files which I generated in Corel, he would mail me the cut products. It worked out well while he was around. I have a few more local buildings I need to do but haven't put the time into finding another laser engraver. I thought about picking up a small engraver myself, but things have just busy.
