Just prior to Thanksgiving break, the first train made a complete circuit of the entire new main line under its own power for the first time! Not a bad benchmark of progress since just a little more than a year ago we were faced with an empty clubroom in need of a layout. Upon our return from break, we had a brief organizational meeting on December 4 to discuss details related to our upcoming
Tiger Tracks Train Show this weekend. Following the meeting, some local alumni members joined us for a special toast celebrating the completion of the new main line.

Many RITMRC alumni joined us for this historic event celebrating the completion of the new main line on R&IT v2.0.
