January 2026 work reports

[Earl Leavitt]

 The fine and dedicated efforts of the No.10 Crew over the past several weeks has been impressive to witness. Dan, Darya, Bryce and a number of others have really pushed the rehab of No. 10 along, with the intent of presenting an impressive display at Amherst that will surely help raise funding awareness for the No. 10 project as well as demonstrate the ability and focus of the WW&F volunteer community. If you're attending the show do not fail to stop by the WW&F displays and yes, be sure and tell your friends!

Some photos of today's set up of our tables at the Amherst Railway Society's Railroad Hobby Show.  First photo shows the corner facing the main entrance of the Young building.


A close up of the locomotive 10 exhibit so far.  More will be added tomorrow morning before the show opens.


Our membership table.  The Newsletter past issues are from our press overruns.


Our gift shop tables.


The model railroad equipment sales table benefitting our Archives.


With Sunday's weather forecast, we expect the show will be very busy Saturday.

Some photos from today, Saturday, during the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show.  A view from the main entrance of the Young building before the show opened.


 Dan discussing the project to restore locomotive 10 with the crowd.


Cindy and Susan were busy with gift shop sales.


And Marcel busy with model train sales for the Archives.


We understand the show set a one-day attendance record today -- not surprising, given the weather forecast for Sunday and Monday.  After discussion this afternoon, we decided to pack up our show materials this evening in advance of the storm.  We will not be at the show tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone we met today.
