| "Short Notice" Open House 2006 |
|
| Since I wasn't on the NMRA bus tour for July 2006, I announced, with only a few days notice (I might add), that I would have the first Open House with the new Eaglewings layout on June 3th 2006.. (Hence the name.) Well..as always, it rained and my open house was cancelled. I checked the weather report for Sunday, June 4th, and it looked better so, I announced the rain date (June 4th) and, with a little luck, I would have the First (new layout) Open House on Sunday. Below are some pix from the event. I was pretty busy answering questions about the new layout that I failed to take my normal round of photos. Here, along with mine, are photos taken by Tony Parone to supplement this page. |

| USA Train's new S4 switcher was the most photographed train of the day. Here are a few pix of this beauty. |
| As always. the Dash 9 is also an attention getter. |
| And certainly we can't forget the other trains of the day now, can we? |
| The LGB Amtrak bullet train zipped along the inter loop all day. There were aome questions about this "oldie". For some, it was the first time they've seen it. |
| After an hour or so the elevated line's reversing unit quit so, the RDC was moved to the main trackage and the "Bullet" took a rest. |
| The "Berlin to Winslow" shuttle moved folks to and from all day. |
| Thomas and Friends also make a few rounds by the end of the day. |
| Other Stuff.. |
| I made up a few little scenes but didn't over do it. The weather didn't seem like it would co-operate and I didn't want the stuff to get rainned on.. And guess what? It did!.. Oh well, there's always the next time.... |
| In Attendance.. |
| Betie Mancuso and Lori Lederer stop by to see the trains. They both said that they like the nostalgia. "It's like when we were kids at Christmas Time." |
| Mrs. Leeds, Bob Shaw and Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Morrill checking out Thomas.. |
| Explaining the ease of operation using the Train Engineer to George Clark. Elinor Clark watching the Bullet make it's run by. |
| Janis and Jerry Leeds wanna see how they connect.. |
| George is in a trance. It's either Bob Shaw or the trains doing it..George doesn't remember.. |
| More comments from Bob on trucks, couplers or something..I don' t remember.. |
| The Morrill's sharing their GR photo book with Tony Parone. |
| The Engle's enjoying the view. |
