2008 Epcot/Disney World LGB at the Flower & Garden Show

OK Toad,

Here's you, and all here, some shots, from the 2008 at Epcot, LGB Layout at Disney World's, Flower & Garden Show. Saturday, April 5th at about 3:00 PM.

The water fall/rock formation there, started leaking Friday afternoon, for some reason, so we shut it down, maybe Mr. Carr, of staff, and David and I, can raise it today and repair the leak ???  We'll have to see...... and than I'll take some shots of it later.....

 

 

That is a signal from the Union Pacific RR, the other sponsor here, It changes through the light sequence about every 10 to 15 seconds.

I'll do some video and more photos tomorrow, will be there again from 11:00 to 5:00. 

Enjoy, Byron

Nice job Byron!

The display wouldn't be possible without the gracious help of the volunteers from the FGRS (Florida Garden Railway Society). A big "Thank you" to all of you!

Looks to me like you guys are having entirely too much fun!  Thanks for sharing the pics.  I look forward to seeing the vids and more pics, especially the crowds of youngsters that are sure to arrive.

Did you check out the Railroad at Magic Kingdom? I think it's a sin for any railfan not to see and ride them when visiting Disney World.

What was the leak? 2 part epoxy is quick fix ASAP. Big Smile [:D] Be down for what, 5 - 20 min.

Yo Toad,

We couldn't get to it yesterday, they wanna let it dry out first.

Anyway heres a frontal shot of it and a few other shots of the other displays.....

 

 

Here's some of the poster displays they had up around the walls too.... 

 

 

I guess I'm not a Real Mousekateer either REI, I didn't have time to get out there in the rain and ride the trains yesterday, to busy here at Epcot.....Sorry Charlie..
