To all at MGRS,   My name is Gary Newton and I am from Ballarat Victoria Australia.  I have been into Garden Rail for 30 plus years, starting with a second  Mamod loco in 0 Gauge and most recently 2 Accucraft 7/8 scale locos,  a Fairymead and also the Emma. These are both terrific. Over the years  I have found quite a few locos and made much of my own rolling stock.  In recent times I came across the amazing videos by Eric Schade on You  Tube and I must say that I am very impressed, he certainly does a good job. I would very much like to get in contact with someone over there who has  similar interests to my own. I am sending some pix of what I have been up to.     Best Wishes from Gary Newton Ballarat Victoria Australia CTRL + Click to follow link">garynewton42@bigpond.com Accucraft Baldwin 4 4 0 with Bachmann Rolling Stock   Argyle Loco Works Bantam Home Made 0 4 0 loco Gidgee in 0 Gauge My Station Roundhouse Darj B Loco and Brass...

Jim Jenkins is a long-time member of the MGRS who invites members to run their trains at his new railroad in Gray, Maine.  Some years ago, Jim built a beautiful layout at his home in West Bath.  But he and his wife, Anne, recently moved to Gray to be near her relatives.  The A&J has moved with them, and promises to be as ambitious as his West Bath layout.  Jim's current project is a whopping 16' long engine house in which to store his trains.  The other day it occurred to Jim that many MGRS members don't have layouts, but might like a chance to run their trains. He and Anne want you to know that they welcome such members to bring their trains to Gray and operate them on the A&J.  People who have their own layouts are also welcome.  Just give Jim and Anne a call.  Their address is 11 Adler Avenue, Gray, which is close to Hannafords or Route 26.  Their phone number is 657-9218,
