One of these days I'll upload some additional video of our modules and the action. My video camera apparently has a weak battery, so I didn't shoot as much as I had planned. After a short while the camera refused to do anything so I thought maybe the whole unit had crashed, but the footage is all there.
One thing we're beginning to find out is that modules seem to get heavier each year and I don't think it's from bed bugs or sweat (from the mattress commercials). It would be nice to have some younger blood to help with these things. It also takes 6-8 vehicles to transport all the items. We're thinking of obtaining a trailer to start hauling the bulk of the modules, due to the high cost of SUV type vehicles and the eventual downsizing of them The all scale modelers club that I'm president of is the largest in the Houston area also has the same problem. We have about 70-80 members but only one below 20 y/o! Bob Werre PhotoTraxx On 10/13/11 1:05 PM, Jim and Cheryl Martin wrote: > > An impressive display Peter.
