GARY NICHOLS
hosted the Mpril meet in Brandon.
It was a hot day
but the hugh trees in Gary's backyard kept
the direct sunlight
off of the 60+ members and guests who
made it out. if you missed out on this, you really did miss out.
Gary's layout covered
the perimeter of his back yard. Along
the west side of
the house was a 6 track siding. Several of
us members brought
trains to run and run they did! We had
Bob Pero's USA
F3's, I had my LGB 2-8-2 Mikado out running
and Gary along with another member had their Bachmann Spectrum
series Locos double heading. There was even Live steam running!
