The Great Train Extravaganza, December 7th, 2003.<br>
<br>
Snow storms don't bother us!  Well, they do slow us down.<br>
We had a 32' X 15' layout, with modules from seven club members.  We finished setup a few minutes late, but had trains running by 10:15 (the show was 10 am to 4 pm).<br>
Everyone got to run trains, Thomas and the Bullet train came out, and all in all, it came off pretty well.
