FLOOR LAYOUT AT GREAT SCALE TRAIN SHOW APRIL 15, 2007

[home page]

Outside today a storm was brewing, with heavy rain and gusty winds.  Show attendance was light, but our layout was popular with the kids that were here.

A little guy watches Art's train speed by the water tower.  NASCAR car #10 is nearby.  Today the real NASCAR drivers are racing in sunny Phoenix Arizona.

Three kids are watching Tom's train slow for the station.  The waiting passengers were recently acquired at the East Coast Train Show.

It's about 2:00, Tom is setting up a train, and Marie, Angie, Bob, and Andy are about to leave. In the foreground is Thomas the Tank Engine, who ran flawlessly all day.

The gang is having a good laugh about something. Behind Bob is his grandson Andy and to the right is his girlfriend Angie.

Bob is adding smoke fluid to his Dash Nine while Art's train passes.  For some reason the engine did not smoke very heavily.

Grandma is sitting outside her shack.  It could use a little cleaning up!

Pete's Budd Car is trying to run on two tracks at the same time!

Art's train is finally safe in the siding while Tom's train passes by.

Art was backing up the train but as soon as he looked away it crashed.
