People who came down were:
Aaron Hines (from Modesto)
Paul Sinasohn - TWICE - Thanks Paul
Tom McDonald
Tim Courtney - Stayed for many days - paid for room & board by building :-)
Zonker
I thought that there was one other, but I can't remember right now.
When Eric McCarthy & his family came down, we had already abandoned hope of
getting modules done and just made structures. They made a nice playground,
but I ran out of room in my car to bring it. I also had to strip the parts
from the Breezeway Cafe his daughter put together so that I could finish the
front of the train station.

Actually, the requests were equally distributed between the metroliner, the
bee-liner and the Daylight. They would always ask why we weren't running
the XYZ train. We would go and switch them over and they would be gone by
the time we parked the old train and started up the new one and somebody
else would ask why we weren't running the one we just parked!
