Well, for advertising you've done a great job with that. I was thinking
of traveling to Britain this year, but looking at this it would be half the
cost, a lot less jet lag, and just as interesting. You've got me thinking!

I try to advertise this railroad and its model railroad club Jeff.





Not my videos. Just having fun sharing these with others.

I would not know who makes that particular model bread truck Ben.
I moved that video to a new thread since the club shown is not in Kempton.
That video is in the Schuylkill Valley Model Railroad thread.

Some more videos of this club layout. Again these are not my videos.









Nice club layout to visit while viewing the tourist railroad.

Weather looks great for tomorrow. Not far from some of you. Some internet videos done recently.








Their HO layout should be open to the public tomorrow as well.

More of my videos from another time and place.












Now you see why I chose my username to show my appreciation for that railroad.

I'm very familiar with Kempton and that railroad. Along the route you will see a sign that says Fuhrman's Grove. That property was my Grandfather's. I am a Fuhrman. Until he passed away he allowed the passengers to stop and picnic there down by the creek. They could walk the area and catch the next run back. That option is no longer available but the sign remains.

There's a good General Store there at the Wanamaker's if you want grab a good sandwich and coffee also.

I think I read somewhere that some of the signs were stolen from around the railroad

& I just read they were found!
