Hi all,
Was setting up this evening for the club meeting on Saturday (tomorrow) and the Open House on Sunday and couldn't resist taking a coupla pictures.
thanks for taking a look.

Nice lighting. -- Russ

Rick, the material looks really nice (gondola, tank waggon, shovel). The clapboard backdrop, while nicely painted, doesn't do justice, though, to the 3D work, but I understand there may not be many solutions to this...

Hi Russ,
The lighting is the sun's fault not mine.

Frederic,
No, not many solutions for an outdoor west facing exposure.
But it beats the heck out of the blank yellow wall that was there for years.
Later

Nice!  Did you take any pics during the open house as well?

Hi Marc,
No I didn't take any pictures, I never seem to have time.
I had two friends here running trains and of course my
Brother-in-Law did his now traditional video.  I spent all my time
visiting and answering questions from the guests, so my engineers and B-i-L
collaborated on the video.  I had no idea what was on it till several days later when it was
released on YouTube.

I think it turned out reasonably well.
Hope you all like it
Rick
