June bursts in with an Open Day for the Model Railway!
It was on a fine early summers day in June that saw the first Open Day of the Moreton Model Railway Club, and what a lovely day it turned out to be! Even Rooty the Piper came down to officially start the festivities.
Of course, the day was a great hit with the children, big and small, who were waiting to have a chance to ‘have a go’ on the trains! One mum decided that this was too nice a day to waste and took the chance to top up her tan.
The visiting locos came in all types and sizes from very big…..
..to very small, with great interest from all the visitors.
Of course, with all the extra activity this was causing on the MPLR, the Pits Productions car was soon seen arriving at the station to do a spot of filming of the action. There was some talk of a film about a day in the life of the MPLR but you can never tell….
The station’s never been so busy and a gridlock soon developed!
Luckily, it was soon sorted out and everyone went home happy and satisfied with a lovely day out on the MPLR. Many thanks to the wonderful catering crew who managed to make and serve 40 cream scones, 5 assorted homemade cakes and an enormous bread pudding, got through 80 tea bags, a jar of coffee and 3 litres of milk!
