MMRS - Display at NMRA Hub Division Show

Display at NMRA Hub Division Show 

The NMRA HUB Division runs a model railroad show every November at the Marlboro, MA, High School.  The gymnasium is filled with dealer tables, and the cafeteria has modular layouts.  We've exhibited there several times.  Since we haven't built the corner modules, we put our modules in a straight line and did a lot of switching back and forth.  The modules were in various states of completion, from Bill Wheeler's completed New Haven deisel engine facility, to Mike Boucher's "plywood prarie" (actually painted foam).  Dave Taylor supplied a 24' long switching yard between Mike and Bill.

Most of the running was done with Dave Taylor's Red Caboose GP units, Weaver RS3, and Atlas SW9, all painted in Boston and Maine colors.  Bill Wheeler brought his usual assortment of NH power, displayed on his engine terminal modules.  Mike Boucher brought an On3 shay, and On3 D&RGW K-28 and his Bachmann On30 passenger car set.  The narrow gauge engines were running back and forth on temporary track on Mike's two modules.

We had a lot of positive comments from the visitors.  Many people were unaware that two rail O scale existed, never mind having a local club for it.

Now for the photos...  (Click on the thumbnail to see the full size images)

There is no skyboard on Dave's modules, as he is making building flats of classic New England textile mills as his backdrop.  You can see some of the building flats to his left.
 

For some strange reason, all the club members found the sign above our modules terribly amusing!
