and thus begins the X2011 Sacramento NMRA convention

With the advance section in bay area I get to play for three days. operating layouts, tours, hanging out with old friends. meeting new ones. last night I operated 2 mine turns on the Western Maryland. today am running the "Crusher" on the Santa Cruz Northern. tonight a dinner cruise on the USS Potomac in bay. Sunday will be touring layouts en route to Sacramento convention center. the beginning of a busy week. the OWNRy will host 2 operating sessions, a bus tour, a day of self guided tours and a couple visits by special guests. plus 5 trips down the hill including this one to bay area.

should be fun.
notice the flag on top of Union Station on the OWNRy
