June 12, the NMRA Mid Continent Region Standards Convention and show was in Wicita, KS. Friday night there was a layout tour. Additional layout lighting was added to existing lights before the Tour. The following pics are from my layout about 5:30PM and about 9:30 PM.
Although none are shown in these pix, 42 guests visited the HedgeApple-RioGram RR.

The visitors were from NE, AR, OK, KS, IA, and CO. Over half of the guests were from NE. All Tour participants seems to greatly enjoy the Tour. A “Can You Find It?” sheet was provided to visitors to locate details on the pike. The HARG RR has many details and dioramas that are based on family persons, autos, structures, and events.
