Our first Spring show at White’s Nursery. Most of our pictures from this show were lost so these are mostly from setting up. As White’s is a nursery and greenhouse we try to incorporate as many different plants into our layouts there as we can, they made their appearance later.
This show was during our K’Nex phase. The coasters and rides look pretty cool when they work but unfortunately they do not hold up well to being moved around and neither of us had the desire or patience to keep putting them back together again. This was a pretty brief phase.
Most train shows are done on a surface that doesn’t do much for your layout, such as a concrete floor, so our train club and us try to do something to disguise it. We’ve used various mediums such as scattering mulch, laying out white sheets (for imitating snow) or in this case burlap (for imitating I don’t know what). It looks marginally better than the bare cement floor but not much and we only tried it a couple times.
