| Morgan Turney & Jason Shron visit the M & M Sub. |
One
of the things I enjoyed best about the M & M Sub. was having visitors
over.
While
watching trains make their way around the layout, we had many enjoyable
conversations.
One
thing that was especially gratifying was welcoming friends who didn’t have
layouts. Having a chance to run trains with them was always fun.
Some
of them brought locomotives to see them run. This provided the M & M Sub.
with some interesting visiting power. (See photos in this post.)
One
frequent visitor was Morgan Turney, editor and publisher of Canadian Railway
Modeller.
He
was also the last visitor before the layout became a pile of lumber on the floor.
Which
was only appropriate; he was the first person to visit my previous layout, the
CP Rail Grimm Valley Sub., back in the early 1990s.
He also made one of the first visits before the M & M Sub. was built.
And
now the layout is gone. But the friends I made through it have remained—along
with the photos and memories of their visits.
It was always fun visiting the M&M Sub., John, be it when delivering back Ricki, a friendly visit or during your many Open Houses. There was always something new to discover!
ReplyDeleteI just wish I was able to visit your layout before the end...
