Saturday was a full day setting up the club modular HO layout.

One of the most time-consuming parts of setup is aligning the modules and inserting "bridge" track over the seams and connecting the catenary.

Once the module setup is complete, all the electronics have to be connected and tested.

Locomotives need to be tested and calibrated to the computer train control program.

The club took a break at midday on Saturday for a demonstration by Mark Mervine
of the new Marklin Mobile Controller.

Sunday morning all is ready for the show opening.

We added lighting to the modular layout this year.

Mark Mervine brought his display of French TGV trains.

John Avery explains the different type of 3-rail
AC track manufactured by Marklin over the years.

Three days after Halloween and Sue Reed has someone still in costume.
