Central Railway Model & Historical Association Annual Show in Easley, SC was held on Saturday, February 4 (10am-5pm) and Sunday, February 5 (noon-5pm). The layout was even larger than last year's, adding Joe's city modules and our brand-new staging yard. (See layout diagram below). The layout ran well and generated a lot of interest from the show crowd. The new staging yard and entrance worked great and provided an excellent addition to the club.

Autumn Rails All Scales Train Show, in Asheville, NC (at the Western NC Agricultural Center) on Fri. October 14th (1-7), Sat. 15th (9-3). Download the flyer [HERE] for more details about the show. We joined forces (and modules) with the French Broad e'N'pire Ntrak club, for an exciting long run. We had a few challenges at startup, but were able to work through those and run some very long trains through some good-looking scenery. Many of the FBE modules were built by the original PnS, just as ours were. We also enjoyed Joe's city modules, which were filled with flashing, blinking lights and action.

We had a great show in Mauldin, SC for the Chamber of Commerce's Trains, Trains & More Trains event, over several days between Friday, May 13 and Saturday, May 21, 2011. We had lots of inquisitive visitors, and a few really interesting characters. The slideshow to the right features pics from this event.
Our modules were set up in the configuration below, and highlighted our recent scenery work on the Transition, Logging and Clarksville modules.
This configuration allows us to run plenty of trains, including some DC, and provide a lot of constant visual variety for the visitors.
