Thanksgiving Point 2018

Arrival Friday morning. This year we're out on the main floor.

Nate helps Robert to unpack the setup yard. The American Flyer layout is directly behind Robert.

Brian helps Bob get his three modules unpacked and setup.

Brian and Nate work on getting the sign put together and set up.

Getting the modules up on their legs and getting them positioned.

Finally, the modules are all connected and wired up. Time to run trains.

Here's a view of the layout from the other side.

A yard full of passenger trains.

Russ talks to people about how he made his modules.

It's a gold mine! Everyone seemed to think that Russ had a pretty nice "coal" mine.

Nate backs his passenger consist into the yard. Some of the cars were being a bit finicky.

Bob allows young Dave to try out his new steam engine (red arrow) on his module.

Saturday afternoon we converted to DC and Brian pulled out three GP-60M's. Two A's and a B unit.

Here's a look at several different scale sizes. For this show he added a new one.

Ultra tiny "Nano" gauge. And it actually runs as well !

Here's a look at the main show floor. We're right in the middle.
