Club Fun Day Recap for Saturday, November 7, 2020
One of our last club fun days of the year was this past Saturday and boy what a great turnout. We had trains running all over the place with lots of smiles and great conversations going on all around the railroad. The railroad operated real good and only had a couple of minor items come up during the day. if you have pictures or videos from this past Saturday please forward to Robby. In the meantime here are a few pictures from the day with more to be added in the coming days.
Also note that our next workday is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th at 8:30 a.m. The plan is to finish up the last 20 feet of the passenger siding track and build a couple of switches for the next container that will be going in this winter.
Meanwhile, during the club fun day the riding car committee met to discuss and review the next set of articulating riding cars. A few more decisions need to be on trucks, truck brakes, paint color, and a few other details. Overall things are moving forward, and the goal is to have the new cars ready for our first public run day in 2021.
Our June club meeting will be on Saturday, June 7th at 1 p.m. with a workday starting at 8:30 a.m.
