Despite record-breaking heat, the14th Annual Manassas Railway Heritage Festival was a fun day for thousands of visitors in the old town section of Manassas, VA. PWMRC was one of several layouts in the pavilion in downtown Manassas, VA. Trains of all types were running and it was a "hot time" for having fun playing with trains.

Our Open House is the first Saturday of the month at the Quantico Train Depot in Quantico, VA...come & see our progress.

The ARMY is on the move past the towns & fields on our layout. Joel showed his detailed train complete with missiles, arms and plenty of military gear. What's under the tarps?
Take a ride with Christopher on his Atlantic Coat Line passenger train as they roll by the drive-in movie on Kurt's module. With model trains and your imagination you can remember the days gone by.

It was a busy day in Manassas and also in the small junction of Peabrake. Brion Boyles shows his modeling skills with a high level of detail and realism.

Things move just a bit slower down on the delta as Brion eases the Mississippi Central past the farms and fields.
Not to be outdone, the Air Force passes by the local airfield as the planes are ready to taxi to the runway. John's train is rolling past Dave's airfield.

Maybe it was the heat, but it seemed that everywhere you looked there was a caboose. All types and colors bringing back memories.

Lew's Reading was passing by the harbor scene on John's module.

It's work done for the day, Brion's MIssissippi Central crew has parked their work caboose on the siding and headed home for the day.
With it's days of revenue service over, Mike has converted this caboose to a crew car. Looks like it's parked for the night in an industrial area reminiscent of Pittsburgh.
