2004 Greenberg's Train, Toy and Hobby Show
The Greenberg Show was a success. As most of you know, we didn’t
get into the Pavilion until noon, therefore we had to shorten the
layout. I am thankful that enough members returned to complete the
layout. Which was a great layout... There were eleven lines and two
point to point. The public was very pleased with the size and the
detail of the layout. Having the Puddle Jump Railroad layout on the side
allow the public to get a good look at all the details. The kids really
enjoyed running James and Thomas in our young engineer section.
There where quite a few two legged tunnel portals spotted on the
layout that were the causes of several derailments during the show.
Anyway, fun was had by all and thanks to all the members who
helped with set-up and take down.
