The Prince William County Model Railroad Club was pleased to be part of the Annual Benevolent Fund Gala at the Greenspring Retirement Community in Springfield, Virginia on April 22, 2006. Our modular layout was well received by throngs of visitors. Everyone had a great time enjoying the "World's Greatest Hobby". Our regular monthly Open House at the Quantico Depot is the first Saturday of the month...come & see our progress. |

| Rounding the curve and headed for Fredericksburg is Pete's New York Central System freight train. | |||

These magnificent mountains are part of two modules by Fletch. We're way-back in time with Fletch's passenger train. If you listen closely, you can hear the sounds of the steam locomotive boucing off the rock walls. | ||
What would a Gala be without some fun and games. Don brought his carnival modules to the delight of the crowd. That's his Pennsylvania steamer passing by. |

| Ernie's Norfolk & Western 611 passes by the brick factory in Gainesville on his module. Every time we see N & W 611 it brings back memories of the glory days of steam. | |||
| Tim's hard-working Rio Grande local freight train has just passed the general store on Fletch's module and is moving on the harbor scene on Dave's. | |||

Lew's collection of Reading rolling stock is large and today he brought out a humble work train. His crew kept the mainline free of problems all day. Please note that the starburst on the headlight is all natural...no editing at all. |

| Pennsylvania fans all over are cringing at the sight of a mighty GG-1 in Penn-Central livery. Rob has backed it up with the older tuscan Pennsylvania livery. |  |

Our layout was livened up with a visit from the Conductor for the evening. With many trains running and a room full of visitors our Conductor brought a festive touch to the layout. He made sure that all operations were on time. | ||
