The middle of October tends to be a busy time for us Greeners as we host an open house the night before the train show and then we have multible tables at the show with estate
sales that we handle for guys that may have had a death in the family and want to dispose of dad's train collection. It gives us extra money to improve the layout, it doesn't happen
without funds as no tax money supports us! Here we have a newcomer to Spokane in the form of a midwesterner showing up with Milwaukee Road fast catching up.
This scene shows 2 giant Union Pacific Centennials with a freight train as a Montana Rail Link special passenger train passes by.
During our Saturday open house we were visited by a friend of Keith ( middle ) and John ( right ) all three were BNSF engineers and were reminiscing about the good old days of
railroading, They all got to ring the bell, blow the whistle and wake everyone up at 3 am. That his son to the extreme right.
Here we have 2 Northern Pacific freights fighting for who gets to the switch before the other. They happen to be on different railroad lines but they didn't know that!
New member Doug bring in different models every week besides his favorite Northwest stuff and Missouri Pacific was a first that I can recall.
