Happy 17th of May (syttende mai) to our Norwegian friends! - Ralph - 05-17-2013
Today is Norwegian Constitution Day and it reminds me of our late friend and forum member Stein. I had the honor and pleasure of showing him my layout last Summer while he vacationed in Minnesota, and we had a ball running trains for a couple of hours. In anticipation of his visit I created the sign proclaiming that my town of West Mill celebrated it's Norwegian heritage annually. Shortly after his visit I was delighted to receive this Norwegian State Railroad passenger car which I am running as a fan trip special at West Mill. Thank you Stein. Best wishes to all...
Ralph

Ralph are you a fan of the Prairie Home Companion and Lake Wobegon by any chance?

Great Layout by the way, no wonder Stein enjoyed himself.
