I forget how many trains there were. I think the owners got poor, which is why they charge to come see their toys. It was really cool. Everything is radio-controlled.

The train club here put on an exhibit at Oliver-Joseph (a car dealer). What a blast! It took 3 days for everyone to set up for a 1-day show, but only a day to take it down.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 11, 2017, 10:04:48 am: I picked up an old train, that had supposedly only been used a few times. It sortof worked, but the connections in the track are poor, so it kept stopping, and the engine didn't sound good. The track oval filled up a 4'x8' panel. I dunno what happened to that train. That was 10 or so years ago, and I've moved since then.
