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.

This MIssissippi Central is modeled by Brion Boyles who also contributed to the impressive scenery between Cooper's Holler and the bridge over Powell's Creek.

Gliding downhill toward Evansport is John H. and his Morristown and Erie with a mixed freight train.
