Oy my club Rosevill Roundhouse is going to be on the layout tour next friday. 56 people confirmed on the bus plus who knows how many walk ups. Should be a mad house.
Yoho, wish you a great open house . BTW, if you take any photos at the Open House session that you really like, *as long as you have permission of any people in that photo*, feel free to share it on the X2011 West Facebook page and post it on the X2011 West wall: X2011 West Facebook Others WW all would love to see / enjoy any good photos I'm sure.
We kicked off the Advance Section on Thurs night 6/30/11 with an unofficial Op Session at the Union Pacific in Niles Canyon at Seth Neumann's layout. 7 Guest operators (including 4 from Australia) and several helpers and friends operated for 3 hours. A great time was had by all! Hope everyone's tours and op sessions go well and enjoyable for all you.
