Our Division 7 Video Team is documenting the incredible EnterTrainment Junction (EJ) indoor G-scale model railroad and family entertainment facility with both video and still photography.  As part of that effort, John Burchnall has compiled a slide show of 120 of his photos of EJ. You can view those at the bottom of the Area Layouts page under the Modeler Tips & Services tab. A convenient slide viewer there runs automatically at 2 seconds per slide (4 minutes total) or manually. Click here to go to the Area Layouts page.
