The Kimballs' layout was build by Dave Bennett and Jerry Huber. It is designed around an outstanding water feature. The structures and the gardening that Dex and Linda have provided to complete the layout are supurb. Despite a forcast of rain, we had a glorious day for viewing the layout and sharing a good time with our friends. Many thanks to Dex and Linda for hosting the meething. Photos by Don Nute.

An aerial view shows the trolley track and a siding in front of Main Street.
A waterfall and mossy stream are nestled in a wooded slope.
The stream runs under a truss bridge to the pond.
Rich Williamon enjoys a Coke and a chat with Deborah and Ted Yarbrough.
Here's another view of the stream and pond that includes the
full-sized footbridge and
path through the middle of the layout.
Some old codgers sit along side the track and watch the trains roll by.
Jim Hyatt, Mayda Mole, and Carolyn Hyatt enjoy the view from the footbridge.
The street lamps and many of the buildings are lighted here
on Main Street
and throughout the rest of the layout.
