We are fortunate to have a friend and neighbor down the road who opens his yard to us to enjoy his model train tracks. We meet him several years ago when I was the Chair of the Garden Club in Point of Rocks. Pat hosts open house days in which his train enthusiast friends come to ride trains on the track and the rest of us take in the show. Last week as we were passing by his house, Liam asked when we could visit him. Luckily he had an open house planned for today. Pat has built and designed a lot of the structures and has large boxes to protect and cover them during bad weather. In winter the cars and figures are taken inside. Here are some photos from it.

| Liam and Luke give you a little bit of perspective in the size of the train and the track. In fact it's much bigger than the photos show. They ran around waiting for the trains to round the turns, enter and exit the tunnels and study the town. |
