These photo’s were taken by Tommy Holt during a two day  operating session at my ( Rick Rideout ) home layout.  Guest arrived from  Milwaukee, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas on Friday afternoon.  Layout orientation was held on Friday night.  Sessions began on Saturday morning at 9:00 am and went until 12 midnight. We stopped only to eat lunch and dinner, which my wife Vicky prepared.
