December 2003 Members Tour

December 14, 2003

The GILBERT's hosted the December meet for the Central Division.
Vic & Betty's meet had several members in attendance for a sunday
"Running of the Trains".
Their "Cascade & Sandyflats Railroad at Highland Lakes was a fine sight to see.
The Layout is about 30' by 30' with 250' of track.
They also have a mine train (point to point) of 53' of track which rises up
along the mountain side and over 3 bridges.
There was plenty of food and drinks for all who made it out.

hill side with a load

from this angle

Special Thanks to Dale MacKeown
