Florida Garden Railway Society's

February 2003 Members Tour



February 16, 2003
     The HOPES hosted the February meet for the Tampa Bay Division.
Jim & Linda's layout is very unique in which they have managed to do so
much design and structure in a confined area of the yard.
The mainline has 180' of track with about 40' additional is used
for sidings and spurs.
With a little bit of luck, we only managed about a total of 10 minutes of
rain for about 3 hours of fun. Tehre were about 35+ members and guests
who made it out on the Sunday afternoon
