| | This is a good mix: three that have been on the tour before and two new ones! Jim Carter(pimanjc) is taking a well-deserved break this year so he can enjoy the tour. We should have a great time! (My pike's 100 miles away so I never get to join in the fun.) | |

| Herb,
Thanks for posting the Tour Guide. I usually email it to several guys but since it is here, I'll let them download it.

| Today's the day for the WAGRS 11th Annual Garden Railway tour. Forcast is Sunny & mid-80 perfect day for the tour.
This morning's Wichita Eagle has done an article on David & Lana McLain's layout which one of the whistle stops on the tour. It includes pictures and a video from the engineer's view.
Hope you enjoy the article and hope to see you there.
Happy RRing,

| It's a great article and a really well done video! The Mclains have a really fun layout that we can bring our trains to run on when they host WAGRS meetings. I'm glad to see that the weather is going to cooperate this weekend! I hope Dave and Lana didn't have too many washouts to repair! | |
