Greetings
Recent shows included the 4-H club and Riverview Estates in Riverton.
I was able to attend the show at Riverview Estates. It's a great medium size show with lots of action. The residents really enjoy the show as well as visiting kids.
Chet debut his circus train. It is a fine looking train with a lot of color and animals. However there was one incident along the rails. A gorilla escaped into the woods on the big curves and was very difficult to spot.
Erik and I put together a 179 car hopper train, the largest hopper train to date for New Jersey Southern. We hope to top that at the Nation Train Show this July.
With more of my wheels honed and all of Bill Kidd's and Carl's hopper car wheels honed and de-weighted, it should be an easy 275 car train.
