MGRS members Carl Churchill, John Jackson, and Tiny Lee at the Milford, New Hampshire Train Show. Tiny does double-duty as a member of the New Hampshire Garden Railroad Society, which has more than sixty active members. NHGRS member Tom Foley prefers to work in 7/8th scale. Here are pictures of a dockside scene he has modeled, including a toy truck from a Home Goods store he has modified into a railcar. The most popular place at the show, at least for those under six or seven, was a room full of toy trains. Here's hoping that we're seeing the blossoming of a new generation of train lovers.

Thank you for the great hospitality of NHGRS members who met with some fellow members of MGRS that visited to see the 8th Gigantic Train Show at the Milford High School this past weekend. Special thanks to Denneth 'tiny' Lee as he introduced us to as many people as possible including Larry Goodhue, John Foley, Barbara Kessler, Harriet Cutler and so many others whom I apologizes to for not writing down your names but I will remember your friendly faces the next time we have a chance to meet. You all combined to put on a great show and it was very impressive to hear that your main layout which took up most of the gymnasium was completed in under 5 hours! I have a few slide show pictures which do not do justice to your displays. Hopefully I will be able to add some videos. Slideshow Pictures.
