Roy Gal, Tom Cook, and Greg Kramer

Roy and Tom among those admiring Greg’s layout.

Wood-framed house under construction in LEGO®

Aaron liked the house under construction so much he had to build his own right away.

Hallowe’en trick-or-treaters at the porch steps

A seasonal tableau enlivens a side street.

Tom’s steam engine

Tom brought his new Baltimore & Ohio V-2 Lord Baltimore Hudson (4-6-4) steam engine and tender.

Greg plans his section of the next show’s layout

Greg did a little planning, using a scale model in LEGO® elements, for the next show (in 2 weeks).

Some of Greg’s locomotives

We ran some of Greg’s variety of locomotives.

It was settled at the last meeting—green atop the nose of a Union Pacific locomotive can be prototypical.

Constantine’s locomotive and photograph of prototype

Constantine had used orange brick prototypically to build a pair of CSX’s Maintenance of Way locomotives (and had the photograph to prove it).

Aaron used orange brick to build a sports car

Aaron’s effort to use orange brick resulted in this sports car.

On the curve are parked Jeeps in 3 colors

Some people can’t seem to stop with building only one of anything.

Logo of WAMALUG rendered in LEGO® elements

The WAMALUG logo proved itself renderable in LEGO® elements, a planned addition to the next show’s layout.
