A very fun day was had by all the moduleers participating in our grand setup at the 26th narrow gauge modular meet in Kimberton. These pictures feature modules by Geren Mortensen (The On30Guy), Nathan Kline, Kevin Hunter and Robert Wall.

Although not shown in these pictures, Geren was able to coax both of his Forney’s into trips over the whole railroad, with only a couple of trouble spots, thanks to the group spending a fair amount of time making sure the section joints were fairly smooth, and fitting the Forneys with longer-shafted couplers.

A good time was had this past weekend at the Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium, MD. The turnout was light (some might say dismal), but we may have gained a couple of moduleers from the experience. Kevin’s volunteered to help a couple of folks get some module frames built using his extensive wood shop. I know that I’m going to try to get out there one day this week to get some carrying cases for rolling stock and DCC gear built.

Sunday morning, I also made some time to get the basic scenery down on the engine facility module. Now it just needs structures and details!

No pictures this time around — there really wasn’t time with only two of us there for most of the weekend. If Kevin got any pictures beyond set-up time, I’ll get them uploaded. The setup was similar to last time, though we were a little bit neater in arranging all our support junk. Now, we’re looking forward to a bigger setup at Kimberton in May.

Even with cancellations due to illness, we put up a sizable layout and kept crowds happy all weekend long! Most of the pictures here were taken by Geren just prior to tearing down. The crowd scene was taken by Donna on Saturday morning.
