Hi
To Ogaugeguy.
I had brought it up with club members and we thought your idea was great!!
We have decided that we will have our open house on Sat, February 22,2014.
for the OGR forum members.
from around 10:00am till about 9:00pm with food and drinks and lots of fun running trains!!!!!
We will be posting all the info in jan.
Thanks you.
The run at the Phila Art Museum was a big hit, we had lots of folks come over and compliment us on the layout and the trains. The kids were three deep at times around the layout. Only one kid related derailment, she tried to pick up a passenger car or two as they came by, predictable results.
We had a stream of folks coming up and expressing how great it was that we could do this, including the president of the Art Museum herself. A good time was had by all, and my feet are aching from standing up for most of the 12+ hours! I have a feeling that we may be invited back in the future.
Whoever had the initial idea of displaying trains within an art gallery must be a really creative, out-of-the-box thinker. It is good to learn that the event was received so well. Really, really cool!

I'm not sure who came up with the idea, but it did work out very well.
