I think you really need embrace public support of this hobbyist group. How else can we expose the younger generations to such fantastic past time?
How does this affect the operation of the gauge 1 track?
This is unfortunate news. I took 2 grandchildren last year and planned on coming to events this year. Maybe if you shared the issue behind the decision, the public would rally to help.
Pray you can fix it. Such a great family experience there.
Very very sad to hear this. My son absolutely loves your showings and riding your trains. I hope it changes in the future somehow!
I’m interested in getting information about family membership.
That is definitely unfortunate news… hopefully you’re able to find a way to host guests in the future. We really enjoyed our visit to your open house last fall.
U guys are awesome!!!! Hope things can turn around!!❤️❤️
Hope you can fix the issue, so we can come this summer ❤️
How does this affect the invitational meet coming up this August? Many of us from PLS are planning on coming up for your meet.
Sorry to hear that. We loved riding your trains
Is this insurance related?
