Model RR club

Members of the Anacortes & Fidalgo Model Railroad Club hosted one of their two annual open houses last weekend. Guests streamed through the “Q” Avenue club headquarters from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, enjoying an impressive display of HO and N scale trains that has been years in the making. New this year was a scale model of The Depot (former Burlington Northern Depot) in downtown Anacortes. The layout spans 1,000 square feet and includes 500 linear feet of track with more than 300 cars and engines. Most of the landscape is custom made. Whew!

About Photographer Steve Berentson

A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
