Genesee Society of Model Engineers 2007 Show
|
The Genesee Society of Model Engineers invited the Rochester Area S-Gaugers and the Western New York S Scale Association to show our combined modular layout at their semi-annual train show held at Batavia Downs Race Track on November 11, 2007. For this show we set up our combined modular layout in a ten by thirty-two foot configuration. |

The button that the boy in this photo is pressing was first used at this show. |
New push buttons were installed just prior to this show to activate the action cars and accessories. The action cars and accessories on the layout are a big hit with our guests, as they can launch a rocket from a club-owned American Flyer rocket car (a great crowd pleaser) or, raise the logs so that the log loader accessory can load logs into the operating log car. Pressing another button dumps the logs into a log pond next to an operating sawmill. The sawmill then loads finished lumber into a gondola and there is a K-Line barrel loader accessory that loads barrels into a gondola by pressing other push buttons. |

Chuck Smith loads planks into the saw mill so that our guest can load them in a gondola. |
George Cole is at the controls of the RASG side of the modular layout. |
