I had a nice e-mail from Thomas Wai today: “My family and my friend’s family came to visit the Train Museum at Fort Bragg earlier this summer. Sorry that it has taken me this long to get around uploading the photos onto a link for you to download. Hope you don’t mind.” Thomas sent a bucket load of great photos of his family and the layout. For ease of viewing I’ve put them into three galleries.
