HAPPY NEW YEAR! We did it again, a new record. For the first time we gave over 40,000 rides in one year. The second run day helped a little... 2010 will be the first full year with two run days a year, does anyone want to try for 50,000... We are experiencing a strange phenomena. Two days after Christmas (12/27), we were all anticipating the arrival of Mark’s first steam engine. What happened that day will go down in club history as the first un-official Winter steam meet in recent history. We had at least five (5) steam engines running. That is more than I can remember, since our days back at the Lomita track when we were just a "steam" club. I would like to thank all of our loyal public riders for their continued support. The generous donations and kind words of thanks and encouragement are priceless to the members who give of their time and talents to keep all the trains running safely. Without you we could not provide such a high level of service to the community. I invite all club members who wants to help out around the track to do so. If you are not sure what needs to be done, someone is at the track every Saturday around 10 or 11:00.A.M. Please volunteer for one or more of our working committees, by writing your name on the list posted on the bulletin board. There are always plenty of weeds. We always welcome new members to our team. To find out how to become a member or just to learn more about our organization, please contact club members at the information tent, on run days, or come to one of our meetings which are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 10:30 A.M.
