2 Granite City Shows in the books

Welcome to 2019- albeit we are about at the midpoint of this year. The Fargo Marathon came and wet- really wet weekend. I never got close to the course. But between the last post and now I have visited 2 editions of the Granite City Train show down in St. Cloud and each of my older kids got to go to one. I cannot recall much about the fall 2018 show except my son was given a free battery train set and I picked up a Santa gandy dancer. In spring I finally found a Lionel Train Orders Depot but then I lost a bag with a N scale car, a few trees, and a O scale shack. I also bought another Western Fruit Express reefer.
