The SouthEast LasrgeScale Train Show held at the Fairgrounds in Perry, GA.
A group of 12
FGRS Tampa Bay Members traveled
to Perry to join forces with the
Emerald Coast Garden Railway Society to participate with 3 other groups
in the exhibition
portion of the second South East Large Scale Train Show. It may have
been cold outside;
but the exhibits were all cookin’.
We
teamed up to put together a display that was 45’ x 70’ with 3 outside
mainlines and
the middle section filled with many of the features we use at local
shows. In addition to the
mainlines, the Emerald Coast club set up staging yards with a
multiplicity of switches and had
well over 125 pieces of rolling stock ready to take to the mainline
(these were in addition to
the long trains already running). All together we probably had over 200
pieces of rolling stock
on display. The figure 8 over-and-under was a big hit in the interior
section.
We had 9 trains running at one point with 8 running regularly both
days.
It was great to get together with another Florida club and make new
friends in the process.
