The trials and tribulations of my latest adventure with one of my MOCs.
..... if you would rather skip the rambling...... the pics can be found
here
This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in my first train show.
At one end of the display it was decided to have a kids area where they could
build. There was to be a small loop to run a train. I requested the middle
section of that track for a condensed version of a theme park, because I
thought that the kids would really get a kick out of seeing the rides.

condensed? you mean MICRO? (hehe, sorry..I just had to say that...).
I see you managed to get about four train shows worth of stories in your first
show--see, you were overdue! I think that means the next three might be
uneventful...
All kidding aside, looks incredible--I say keep building, dont go back to
sticking with houses....after all, wasnt it Edison who said genius is 1%
inspiration, and 99% perspiration? Its Lego...it falls apart...see, yours took
8 hours of vibration.. I wonder how long a MB one of those would have taken...I
guess 30 seconds...
Just think, Janey, youre not alone...remember what James Trobaughs buildings
looked like after a 12 hour ride to Brickfest? (For those of you that didnt
see it...well, JT had a few large clear containers that had bricks of the same
colors of his buildings...seems they vibrated loose as well).
Youll just have to build a better one that can withstand more vibration and
impact for the next show! (that, and maybe take some really good digital pics
so you know how it went together the first time...)

Good advice and you are right, I do plan to rebuild but I think I will do a bit
of structural studying before hand, probably hit up a few of my favourite
builders for some good suggestions and get it ready for a new show, I have a few
more rides finished that I couldnt fit in, maybe the new design will work those
in as well.
