Hamiton Layout Tour - Nov 7 - BR60103 - 10-31-2009
Are any of us going on the Hamilton, Ont. Layout tour next Saturday? It's 9 'til 4 and costs $5.
My wife picked up a flyer at the hobby shop today and it looks like we'll be going.
(Tickets to be bought at any of the train shops in Hamilton area)

Unfortunately I won't be doing any layout tours until 2010. Be sure to take lots of pics and share them here!

Apologies: we left the camera in the car!
We managed to see about half a dozen homes and the club layout. HOMES was suddenly evicted from their clubroom a couple of years ago but has found new premises in a community centre. They were running a single track most of the way around and the scenery was described as "1% -- backdrop installed".
Revisited a couple of older layouts and saw a roommate from university. There was one layout where the wife had taken to figure painting with a vengeance -- the scenic half was jammed with people and there were boxes of unused ones. We finally found Osama bin Laden.
