MLS photo Sat between 2 and 3 PM Friday evening dinner is lined up. I will at a later date get motel info. Or those of you who was happy with where you stayed can post that info . The crews made suggestions on changes. The new live steam portable will be back next year and I have a larger , LEVEL area already cleared waiting for the skid loader to arrive. And better lighting for evening running. thanks to everyone. | |

| | Marty,I'm hoping to join you again next year for the get-together; I'll have to see how things work out. I just found out that I'm going to be a daddy, late April-early May 09. My wife is not ruling out coming; we may have to bring Grandma to help with the new baby. I'll keep you posted. | |

| Marty: I thought you knew how it happens. If you need refresher training, call me on the phone....I'll talk you through it. Thanks everyone. We're really excited --- as everyone is with their first. I guess after almost 3 years of marriage, we can show the world that no one needed a shotgun at our wedding..... | |

| We already have our reservations at the Best Western. The King size beds are already gone for that weekend.
We stayed at the Super 8 out by the freeway this year. It wasn't all that super. The smokers have permeated that place so much that it doesn't really matter whether you get a non-smoking room or not, it still smells. The bed was so bad I had to sleep in the recliner every night.
Plan early. See you next year! | |

| | Any more most motels just don't cut it, They are over priced and still have the problem. I prefer to travel with the camper and pay my $23 per night. Later RJD | |

| Because of the Sept get together the RR has grown from a single track main with couple of branch lines to 3 mains. thus After a couple of little changes ,,IF everyone goes clockwise you could run 4 trains per main. go from main 2 to main 1 , blind in , then later go up (c) to main 3 ,blind in for awhile and come back down (b) to main 2 again. the doted line is the ONLY reverseing spot now. it will be marked. More passing sidngs will be added. | |

| Marty, You guys seem to have too much fun out there!! At some point, I will make it to one of these thingys, but I guess it'll be the BPSU 15th annual by then. Bryan, Congratulations! I just saw your announcement. My son Luke turns 1 on Sunday, and I cannot believe how fast a year went. All these guys tried to warn me, but did I listen? No way! Good luck! Mark | |
