Well this weekend was what is called "Canada's Largest Train Show". I was set up with my 6'x 9' layout featuring 4 independent loops of S Helper(MTH) track. The layout was and is always well received by the public and the Parents ALWAYS comment how it is the perfect table height. I dont use barriers around the layout, just a 3" safety edge to avoid any trains becoming air born. I chose to show the public this year the new products that are and will soon be available to them. I used mainly American Models Rolling stock with a few Flyonel and vintage pieces.
I was dissapointed the my AM NYC Empire State Express died on my. The Hudson would run great for about 3 trips around the layout and would slow right down to a stop...no matter what the voltage. Hmmmm.
Anyways my new UP Challenger ran the show 2 days straight with now issues.
I have included a couple of pics, which were taken on my crappy blackberry. Al
