On or about 23 July, Beau Horton and Renee Tarver visited the Museum.   Beau talked to a few people and received a quick course in train operation by Jim Murphy.    Renee, standing by the lift bridge, as Beau stopped the hopper car loaded with a sign....

... asking Renee to marry him, and a box holding an engagement ring.

She said........         "YES !!"                                     ( Pictures by Anthony Ridenhour)

Our Special Friends showed again...   Piglet was riding around on Doug's train.

It was like a Runaway train....

...going faster and faster, out of control!

If Piglet isn't careful...     we'll have to call him "Hamlet" !!

Watching the success Piglet had with Doug's train, Tigger and Pooh Bear commandeered George's train.

They raced around the layout for hours.

George trying to take control of his train, did manage to get the train stopped. Firing up the Galloping "Goose" and getting it moving,
Tigger and Pooh bear could not catch it.
