 Hi, this is Les Halmes coming to you from Train Fest in Milwaukee. Pretty windy day, but we have some breaking news coming up So stand by Yesterday there was a check that was handed over to the NMRA I'm here with Bud Reese from Bachman. He's also on the board of the world's greatest hobby So I'm gonna ask him exactly what it was and what the reason was behind that. Hi, bud. How are you doing? Fine. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity Right. Could you tell us a little bit about what that $50,000 check was about? Yes The NMRA has been presented with an opportunity in the California State Museum in Sacramento To put a permanent display for model trains They have requested that the manufacturers of support them in pledges to raise the money to get this display in there The Sacramento Museum has actually given us the space so we We as an organization of the world's greatest hobby has pledged $50,000 and we're trying to get the other manufacturers to pledge Same amount so that we can double our money So it's a it's a great opportunity The 630,000 people a year that attends that museum. Wow, that's that's real nice. Right. How do you how do you? Manufacturers have you contacted most manufacturers or we we we're contacting them now of the NMRA is actually running the promotion as to contact the manufacturers to get pledges and they have a certain time period to raise them $250,000 to start the action to get this done I also heard that you can donate some money to the NMRA and then they will double it or something in there Well, they have an anonymous donor that will match what we raise to go with it. Wow, so You know the total amount is more than the 250 but once they get there then they've agreed to go ahead and start with a project It's all hot it's all comes from real greatest hobby The 50,000 yes, and the other pledges come from the other manufacturers and individuals who ever wants to donate It's certainly welcome to do so and we certainly would have solicited that bit of donations Well, thank you very much, but I appreciate it my pleasure here's things up a lot Yeah, so you out there who've got a couple of loose dollars Don't eat the NMRA for this worthy cause
