As was mentioned when I first posted the announcement about the train show, proceeds to towards various projects being undertaken by the Alexander Chapter, N.R.H.S., and to put things in a tangible manner the show yielded enough money to finish paying for the restoration on their Railway Express Agency truck as well as to repay the loan floated by one of the members to purchase an ancient tank car that was acquired last year.
The collection of the
Southeastern Narrow Gauge & Shortline Museum continues to grow with both narrow-gauge and standard gauge equipment being acquired. And it is the direct result of the many volunteers of the Chapter that these restorations are taking place, making for an interesting and eclectic collection of museum pieces like none else in the southeast, and it is at least in part through the proceeds of the trainshow that these restorations are able to be done.
To say the least I know that the members appreciate all who were able to come to the show, with attendance hitting a major milestone this year. While the number of tables were down overall attendance was greater than in the past helping to make the show a very good one. To say the least the members are very grateful for each and every person who came and glad that their important work can continue. Here's hoping that next year's show is even better
