As always, great job by all. Spectacular layouts in all scales from  T to  LGB. I was hoping Mainline's cash register didn't melt before we checked out. We were able to sort out a battle plan in the parking lot and the first choice is easy...right up the road from the shop. We traveled around 300 miles by the end of the day with a side trip to Brunswick  added in. Can't wait until next year!

Spending the day touring was a great change of pace for us.  Kind of like the old days doing NMRA convention layout tours:  A map, a rally timer and thou.  We enjoyed seeing parts of the MD / PA area we would not otherwise have visited.  Very different town sites and architecture compared to Ohio, Georgia or North Carolina, past "homes".  And I better understand why so many of you model the region.  Beautiful landscapes and views.

It was great to meet Adam and see the Hanover Sub in person.  And I don't think I've ever been in a hobby shop, dedicated to model trains no less, with so many other enthusiasts present.  And "they" say the hobby is dying.
