The monthly meetings are generally held at a members home & besides the fact that it is a great opportunity to catch up, members also enjoy swapping ideas. The "Open Day" held here was no different with a very friendly bunch of rail enthusiasts visiting. For those interested in joining the Club you can email them at info@lgbofoz.org.au. http://garden-railway.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/2fa9c1cb24420aff18b1b463da911124_45d62da7.writeback Loco Shed Fri, 16 Feb 2007 16:18:15 -0600 This week I continue to lay the base & floor of my "Loco Shed"..everything takes time & I seem to have been doing this forever.
