Peter Most impressive...especially the track work. The double track wye and the looong curved turnouts look great. Good looking scenery too.

That is a show that happens each year in one of the local malls, on the west side of Houston, TX. They have some open space next to an indoor ice skating rink (where they hold hockey practices and games). The rink keeps the area cool, especially important during this time of the year, however, it can get extremely loud if a game is going on. We share the space with layouts of other scales, one each of Z-, N-, HO-, and O. That way mall visitors get to see examples of each scale, except for G. Turnout for both days was quite heavy, although ever so slightly less than last year. The weather may have had something to do with that, because last year it was raining, whereas this year the weather was nice. Our layout ran beautifully, with only a few minor hick-ups with some of the engines. We got to visit with some friends, and we even had a fellow S-scaler from the Dallas area visit, who happened to be in town that weekend with his wife. Anyway, if you are interested in seeing a few photos, go to http://www.houstonsgaugers.org/ then click on "Events", and then click on the first entry under the "Past Events" section of the page. Enjoy, - Peter. -- Peter Vanvliet ([email protected]) Houston, Texas http://pmrr.org/ (my model railroad - RSS feed) http://fourthray.com/ (my company) http://houstonsgaugers.org/ (model railroad club) http://nasg.org/ --
