Upon entering the Gallery we found this poster about our special friends.  Well they did not come to the layout today.



Instead, we found the Simpson family was on the station platform, waiting for any train.



Steam engines roamed on three lines.   The Challengers.    Doug's on the lower line (Lionel)



John Ritch's Hudson (K-Line).



A lot of speculation has been going around, AS TO WHAT IS IN THE LARGE STEEL BOX.
I will let you Know!    It holds the Archived SD3R Record.    If you must see them, contact Ted.



Did you see the lump of coal that is under NM Jim's Big Boy?    At the BBQ I got John to take off the doors while I took this picture.
