Evanston 2017
Friday Morning 10:00 A.M. Some of us tried to get to Evanston a little early.
Back in the machine shop. Bob, Karin, Jason, Cameron, and Dave were the first fo arrive.
Adjusting Position and height. Bob was the first to set up so we started the connection process starting at his modules.
Darn it! Stay Down! Jason had a piece of track that broke loose from the ties, so he had to super glue it back down.
Getting closer. Almost ready. Unfortunately Russ had some track problems of his own and ended up having to replace a section.
The final curtains. Now it's time to test things out. Nate sets up a a couple of cleaning cars to run around the layout.
More details for the end loop. In keeping with his construction theme, Robert has added a hardware and plumbing store to the end loop.
Cameron takes over Jim's corner. When Jim Barton left the club, he decided to donate his corner module. Cameron stepped up and voluteered to give it a home.
Here comes the Army. Nate brought his military cars and lashed them up to a Union Pacific challenger. Heavy tanks need lots of pulling power.
Performing some reprogramming. Cameron has his modules set up simular to Bob's. With the flick of a switch he can control them seperately.
The Big Blow. Intermountain came out with a new version of UP's gas turbine. They have DCC and some have sound.
Three railroads meet. Millwaukee, Great Northern, and Denver & Rio Grande.
Adding more car carriers. Cameron had his car carrier consist out, so Jason decided to add his to it. 19 feet long!
An N-scale dinasaur. Russ's son brought his pet lizard Sunday when they came up from Salt Lake.
Over too soon. The end of the show arrives. Time for cleanup.
