Having an open house this saturaday for MNRA members if they desire to tour my layout here in Oroville Ca. after the Chico/Paridise meet from 12 to 6PM. Ran trains for four hours with very few problems (Yeah I know, the grims are chuckling on what they are going to do LOL ). You guys and gals are invited too, havent met anyone here I would not invite into my home. The layout is a mountain type two level around the room with about 40 percent sceniced, and few buildings. …John

Have fun, John. If I still lived northern California, I’d be visiting but it’s kind of a drive from Alabama. [:)] If you ran the trains for four hours with no problems, that should keep the gremlins at bay for a while. Let us know how it works out and, yes, we want pictures!

What a good idea! I can’t make it from central Tennessee, but maybe some more mrr people would host an open house from time to time. It would give us a chance to meet one another.

Note to Loathar: We aren’t that far from each other. It would be good to meet.

Hello John… I bet those who can get to the open house will enjoy a great layout and a great host. Next time you’re in western KY, give a shout. Others, too.

Ran thains Sat morning and everything went nutzz, a car that never derails just tips over, a turnout that never gives problems, derails trains, a spot of dirty track. So I pulled the problem cars, spiked a few swiches cleaned track again and when they arrived things went rather well, Had Tim run my trains and was a good three hours before the conversations came to a close, got a few better ideas for my gravel plant as to bring the track in at a different angle to layer it to add depth. So a Big Thank You for your hints to help me successfully pull this off, with your help it was a great.
