SavaTheAggie Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Last weekend, Texas Brick Railroad participated in the Galveston Railroad Museum's 2015 Train show. This year we were given an entire room to ourselves, which is a high honor considering what limited space the museum has to offer. This also had the added benefit of keeping us segregated from the other traditional layouts during tear-down, as we are *always* the last to finish and leave. Our display was broken out into three distinct layouts - a fanciful mutli-layer layout by newcomer Joe, a collaborative Town layout, and a collaborative rural/farm layout. Photos are below: Full Photo Gallery Some highlights: Joe's Multi-Layered area (with brick-built monorail on top) GalvestonTrainShow2015_009 by Tony Sava, on Flickr Nathan's construction area GalvestonTrainShow2015_023 by Tony Sava, on Flickr Tim's schoolhouse GalvestonTrainShow2015_057 by Tony Sava, on Flickr The Town: GalvestonTrainShow2015_017 by Tony Sava, on Flickr Taxis waiting for fares GalvestonTrainShow2015_055 by Tony Sava, on Flickr Old MocFiller's Farm grows yet again GalvestonTrainShow2015_030 by Tony Sava, on Flickr Ed's pumpjacks GalvestonTrainShow2015_038 by Tony Sava, on Flickr All hail the Princess Train!

dr_spock Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Nice. Is there video of the Joe's Multi-layer? Quote
marook Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Wow, looks fantastic. Always a pleasure to see pictures from your displays! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 So much detail packed in to every square inch. Great show! Quote
Man with a hat Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Nice. Thank's for showing us. Very inspirational Quote
Evil Stevie Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 It is a pure joy to display with this group, and more so because Tony always documents so well. Thank you all for the encouraging comments. Yes, there will be more pix. Joe Herbert has a GoPro and, among other things, he ran it around the entire perimeter line of the two group layouts (they were actually joined thanks to a nice piece of wizardry from Ed Chang). Here's a link to the show report, which will be updated when the pictures are posted. http://www.texasbrickrr.com/past_events.html Quote

lostdriveway Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Once again amazing looking display! I always pay close attention to your farm / rural areas as I'm trying to design mine at the moment! Quote
Younge Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 The trees in the "Old MocFiller's Farm grows yet again" photo look so... lush!!! Quote
SavaTheAggie Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks all. TBRR has quite a few members who believe in building giant trees... and it's amazing at how much it can change a layout. And yet we still need more! :) --Tony Quote
