[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Cthetrains</i> <br /><br />ya..it's great, they got a streetcar running point-to-point, AND an operation ski lift..the detailing is impressive. My personal favorites include the camping scenes, (camping, canoeing, even fishing), and the outhouse(with the porcelain toilet laying next to it), but then again, I'm a bit warped...the working carnival section is cool, 2 carousels, a roller-coaster, ferris wheel, a fair-sized midway, even an 'excursion train' running around the carnival grounds. there is even a candy-land type section....but the one thing that puzzles me..Columbus Junction Bridge...if the one on this layout is built to scale..THAT THING IS HUGE, (third pic from top, if I'm not mistaken)..but other than occassional mention in magazines, I know nothing of this bridge or it's location..so they've given me something to try and research, along with experiencing this AWESOME layout, and I'm working on becoming involved with this group in the near future.. <br /> <br />Joe, my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit with the club president, and the layout is awesome..I am thinking I'll probably be showing up to get another look at it in the near future..and I strongly suggest that anyone who likes scale rail operations, of ANY scale, make an effort to see this creation, it's well worth it.. <br /> <br />we give it 4 thumbs up!!! <br /> <br />but, Joe..could you post a few pics of the carnival scene?..it's very impressive <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hey Cory, <br />I applolgize for my lack of response here. I don't get to this site often enough and I have been having some tech issues as well. Martha and I will be there tomorrow and I will take some pictures. It will be a few days before I can post them though. My laptop crashed and I am waiting on a new harddrive. This is Martha's laptop I am using. I belongs to her job so... But I do promise to get some more pictures out here. <br />Later and Merry Christmas, <br />Joe <br />P.S. We (actually Martha, I and a couple others) are planning a Christmas Eve run as well. So if you or anyone in the area has no plans for Christmas Eve, stop by. Calanders are available at the Station and will be at http://www.kcgrs.com hopefully by mid week. They have lots of closeups of the layout and can be enjoyed all year long.
