Barbecue a Great Success!

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:31:03 +0000

We were originally going to have sandwiches and subs in the store during the annual Moncton Model Railroad show on April 3rd. When we saw the forecast for the weekend we quickly decided that a barbecue would be a much better plan.

We had lots of people in the store through the day. They’d come in to pick up a few things and chat with Ian and other customers. There were times it was difficult to move around in the store there were so many people shopping, looking for the perfect structure for a particular spot on their layout, or for the freight car of locomotive they really “need”. It was a great opportunity to meet new customers and to talk to those we hadn’t seen in a long time.

After the shopping and conversation inside the store it was time to go around back to the patio for a hamburger or hot dog and continue the conversation, or start a new one, with old friends they hadn’t seen in a while. The patio was just as crowded as the store!

We couldn’t have asked for better weather! Who would have thought that it was only the first part of April! It felt more like June!

Chef Chuck didn’t put in many hours at the barbecue, but his sous-chef(s) were well trained and had things well in hand.

Thanks to all of you that joined us through the day and helped to make it such a great success! We really had a great time!

Customer Photos – Gerald Kieran

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:34:01 +0000

We have finally started working on this section of our web site. Our goal is to get photos of as many of our customer’s model railroads as possible to show what they have done with the items they purchase from us.

Our first customer is Gerald Kieran of Albany, P.E.I. Gerald has been working on his model empire for several years. He really enjoys working on his model railroad and finds the time spent on it quite relaxing! View his photo gallery.

If you would like to share photos of your model railroad then send us an email with your photos attached and a description of the layout or scene. Feel free to include tips or a description of what you’ve done differently.
