Our first show was June 3, 2000 at the Manassass (VA) Railway Festival.
We ran a 14' X 26' modular layout.
Our first show had many of the normal first show problems, plus a few others.
We did not receive power until 30 minutes after the show began due to poor communication among show organizers.
Our layout features lots of operating accessories which visitors are encouraged to operate,
unlike other scales that visitors are only allowed to watch trains go around, and around.

This show was in the parking lot of the Manassass train station so the layout was on a slight incline.

Whenever the train uncoupled on the downhill grade we simply slowed the train enough for the cars to
recouple then highballed again. We told the crowd it was a planned part of the show.
