Had just flown into San Francisco , from Australia , the day there was a terrorist alert in London. Long queues thru customs and immigration.  A few hours later boarded a plane to Seattle to greet two very good friends, Janice & Barry Dupler. On arriving, ( extremely tired ), Barry informed me, that he had arranged , to meet a couple of fellow model railway builders.

In a daze, I said....”OK”.

We travelled to the home of Al Carter and I was warmly greeted by those present.

Once again surprised by the level of modeling around the world.

Took a few photos , had a “coke” and ate all the “cookies”.

Al is also a musician, so we have a lot talk about  next time and maybe have a “jam session” one day.

I’II be back for more home made “cookies”.

Thanks Al for being a great Host and inviting me into your home

Fly Like an Eagle

I was absolutely fascinated by this one little area. Winding roads lending into various parts of the town.  The area must have only been about 2 foot square.

Checkout the backdrop painting. I forgot the name of the person who did it.

Al Carter,             Mario,              Barry Dupler,       Dave Kreitler
