Fairgrounds Train Show October 2013

The October 2013 Great Train Expo Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds saw the introduction of a major change in the way we put together our club modular display. Paul Williamson and Jeff Carter built a new corner piece for the layout. It was unique in configuration – our first inside curve – and unique in construction – a floor-to-rail wooden trestle instead of a table. It really gave the layout a whole new look and many people said that it made the layout look bigger. David Palmeter Photos below:

It works, and Paul is a proud Papa of the new section:

Lots of fun all around the layout:

There was even a quickie layout for the fun stuff…..
