A muchly railway day today.
Local club had an open house.
Then we went to the newly re-opened Aberfoyle Junction (no St Jacobs and Aberfoyle: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://stjacobsmodelrailway.com/">http://stjacobsmodelrailway.com/</a><!-- m --> ). They had to leave their old building and moved a fair distance away. The layout (it was over 3000 sq ft) is back operating after 14 months. We were told the night sequence will be back up soon.
As far as I'm concerned, this layout is the best display layout I've seen. They don't do card operations but trains roll and there are small amounts of switching. The scratchbuilt structures are perfect. An ideal introduction to model railroading for family and friends. (Be careful: she may ask, "Why doesn't your layout look like that?")
Located in Mennonite country, descendants of the Pennsylvania Dutch. A bit of their culture has been added to the layout. There is enough to keep the family occupied as well.
There may be a full size train running as well.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
