Train Mountain Fall Meet:

Quentin Breen's Train Mountain held a Superb Fall Meet over the 8th-10th of 
September.  The week prior to each scheduled meet is a work week. And during 
this time many people from all over the Western U.S. and Canada lend a hand.
In July's work week nearly 9,000 feet of new track was laid and ballasted.
And during September's work week another 5,000 feet of new track was put
down.  The end result will be nearly 20 miles or more of track.  This should
equate to one of the finest 1.5" scale tracks in the world.
At September's Meet over 250 people attended and Quentin's 80 foot steaming 
bay was over flowing with Steam, Diesel, and Electric engines.  Not to 
mention all the rolling stock and other engines staged throughout the various
yards at Train Mounatin. The weather was very pleasant during the day and the 
evenings were crystal clear for night running.  There were so many engines
at TM by Friday the 8th, that night running was held both Friday and Saturday.
Many additional scale buildings were added this summer and the 
landscaping is also coming along nicely. This is due to a fine job done by 
Quentin's crew.  Many that attended the Fall Meet said that they had stayed 
out up to two hours on the layout before returning to the main yards. 
The trackage currently in place boogles the mind, and to see the final plans 
are something else.  
The Chioquin High School Booster Group provided a lunch stand
which served Cold Drinks, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, and other items. And as is
a Train Mountain Meet tradition, there's a Saturday evening Banquet. 
During the Banquet Quentin makes absolutely sure that all who have helped, 
volunteers and crew alike are recognized for their efforts.
A Fine Barbequed Steak Dinner and Dessert was served to all that attended.
Along with entertainment from a young lady who sang Country and Western 
songs.  Quentin goes all out to make sure that all his guests have an
enjoyable visit and that the Banquet is GREAT!
Train Mountain is NOT a Club!  It is privately owned, but welcomes Railroaders
and Live Steamers from any part of the world.  One must contact Quentin Breen
at Train Mountain prior to attending a Meet.  Quentin is a extremely likable
person who enjoys Railroads and Railroaders.  The atmoshere at Train Mountain
is one that is very friendly and very enjoyable.  It is a place that Live Steamers
will enjoy year after year as Quentin creates his "Train Heaven"
Train Mountain is scheduled to CO-HOST "The IBLS International Meet" in the year
2000 with The British Columbia Society of Model Engineers from Burnaby, B.C.
A fine time was had by all who attended the Fall Meet.  Train Mountain is a
place that all should try to attend at least once.  Then you'll want to 
attend time and time again!
