2010 Great Train Expo

For the third year in a row, the club ran at the Great Train Expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

This year's show was the first weekend of the month, December 4 - 5.

We arrived about 1:00, unloading in a largely empty hall that would soon be buzzing with activity.

Mike's new module fit in the back of his cab like a glove! Getting it in and out was a real challenge, but we had to do it that way because the back of the truck was filled with other modules.

Same setup process as always: get all the modules set up, level them, clamp them together, ionsert bridge rails, connect electrical cables, and test.

Because a bunch of people couldn't get out of work, four of us had to set up the whole thing. We didn't get done until almost 6:00, but we made it and were up and running strong Saturday morning when the show opened.
