What a great day meeting everyone at Bob’s house today and what a fantastic railway!
I am just going to post a bunch of pictures that we took today and I will let others chime in on what was going on in them.

It looked like EVERYONE was headed to Bob’s this morning!
(and yes, this was the traffic we were stuck in just 2-miles from Bob’s!)

Nice pics Vincent. That’s the most I’ve seen of Bob’s layout in one thread. Looks like you got shots of it all. Great turnout, hope everyone is having a good time.

the 4th,5th&6th pic. look like Jon wants his bench back but Deb and Stan are not giving it up
than it looks like Jon is trying to get help. LOL
great shots. like all having fun

I was wondering why Bob installed a short track near the turntable… Seen in this picture.

Now I know why. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/139vinny/Trains/DSC09303_zps1738fc0b.jpg)

Great idea for loading and unloading visiting locomotives.

is that the other Ray? looks like the only one with airwire. Thanks for all the pics. Vincent.

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all…
