Train Shows
May 16th, 2005 by RoscoHeadWell another train show appears to have ended up ok. We were hoping to break even, but as it was the first show at that venue, maybe our expectations were too high. But anyway, the layout worked well modularized (mostly), so we will probably stick with that concept.
But man, we need some more members with cars. I guess that means me…
Some other things to look at (in no particular order):
- Remote controlled points
- Backdrop
- More coherent “zones”
- Switchable “dead” track zone for more control
Also looking at reducing the size, I think we all agreed this layout was bigger than we really need. TD suggested 2 2×3 module “end sections”, with bridges connecting them. That way we can adjust the size a bit by changing the length of the bridge section, and we still have a fair bit of space at each end. Maybe limit to 1 loop though.
But all in all, a pretty good show. Here’s hoping the Morwell show is even better!
