The part about the "Retired Old Men Eating Out" is correct, but the idea was
taken from
a book by Tom Brokaw about WW2 US veterns who had organized something along the
same line! Of course, our interest is trains - both prototype and model - a
much different
interest than having survived battle. There is usually some photos, a
book/magazine and
plans/blueprints that show up and are examined, talked about and just plain
admired!
In addition to this, we also solve the world's problems and keep up to date on
local things
such as hobby shop news, fellow modeller's health issues and how the hobby in
general
can serve the greater Calgary area! And, of couse, the latest up-dates on what
EHH is
doing at CP!

For those who are wondering, "ROMEO" is an acronym, coined in fun I believe by
Dave:
I have, somewhere, two photos from the Norm Fisher collection, taken by a
long expired Calgary Herald photographer of the Chinook on delivery.
I am trying to locate them and will gladly scan them for you.
Also, I might take some vacation time soon and would be interested in these
"ROMEO (?)" lunches. Also have to get some Branchline cars to you.
