Thanks George its good that the hobby receives some positive reviews I wonder how much of the general media ran with it????
I remember on the Sunday of the convention one of the local rags, I believe it was the Washington Post, had an article about the layout. There were a lot of folks who dropped in just to see it and knew very little about model railroading. It was fun talking to them, especially their kids. Maybe planted the seeds of an affliction in the little people. He he he he.
