Since we have not been able to set up at any train shows lately, we did set up our extensive layout in a warehouse some months back. Most Saturdays were spent on maintenance work; track repairs, electrical, scenery repairs and upgrades.
This past Sunday, several of us had a "RUN FOR FUN" day. Bob K, Bob H and I ran some of our big engines for several hours testing all the track, switches and electrical upgrades.
Our modular layout is 30 ft by 18 ft. We did not put up any of our buildings, scenery, vehicles, people, etc as we still have some minor work to do. Sure is nice to hang out with the guys weather it's working on the layout or running trains.
Here a couple of photos and a video from Sunday.
