The PWMRC Open House on June 10, 2006 was a day for playing with trains at the Quantico Train Depot. A steady crowd of visitors mixed with several club members throughout the day. Everyone had fun with trains. Our regular monthly Open House is the first Saturday of the month...come & see our progress. |
