Hi All,
I just added photos of our most recent show (belatedly), which was on
Father's Day weekend. 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.
