GATS Train Show in Memphis, TN |
|
January, 2004 |
Now that our layout is 90% complete, we have started taking it to several out of town Train Shows each year. We took the layout to the GATS Show in Memphis on January 24 & 25, 2004. There were 8 layouts there and we won the blue ribbon first prize.
| What a day, the Coal Train had a 9 car wreck on the trestle! This is what happens when you have 7 engines on a long train. The three engines in front lost power and the four engines in the middle just pushed 9 coal cars off the track, dumping coal, killing 4 beavers in the river and demolishing 7 trees. The trestle is okay. |

Crowds around our layout all day. The Wrecking Crew
members are wearing the bright green shirts.
