Here are a few train pictures from our latest show.  We have been together for just over a year and our membership has doubled, there are 6 of us now, so set ups & tear downs are faster and easier.  We don’t have our own tables yet & never know what to expect, so having tables  that were 1” thick was a treat!  The tables at our last show sagged so bad it looked like we had a hump yard!  Look at the train in the middle left:   http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=579025

Things of interest are JM’s Hover train, it took 2 hands to hold it down:

Gail’s Sperry rail grinder:

and a young spectator came in with a nifty little engine that we ran:

Gail’s motorized ski lift worked flawlessly all weekend, as well as Sam’s
vintage engine with conveyer.

A tip for those who use ropes and stanchions: slack is better than tight.  Try
it!
Enjoy!
