September 22, 2012 – Since Randy and Jacquie Banks had spent a long hot summer preparing their railroad for the 2012 Four Club Tour, they decided to invite the club for an open house so that those who were working the Tour could see what they had done. The new sights included a "Depot' storage shed, a revised track layout to allow running 4 trains at a time and lots of landscape and trestle upgrades, among many other projects. Photos HERE.
