Since photo submissions were extra short this month, I decided to go back in my picture stash for some favorites from over the past few years.

Some of my most enjoyable moments were spent in the backyard of our Lakewood home here in Madisonville. We moved in the late summer of 2003 and by 2005 I had a train running. I was inspired by Bob McCracken and Rex Easterly, both former WKNRHS Members. Other former and current members are seen in these shots.

Jimmie Burden was not a member of our chapter, but if you knew him, you soon learned he had a fascination with Lionel operating accessories. When my sons were younger, we were annually invited over to Jimmie’s home to witness a symphony of moving parts set up on his laundry room floor.
