Evanston Show Review

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

We just got done with another great show. We had a great location, right inside the doors of the Evanston railyard’s restored Machine Shop. There were lots of great comments from spectators, although there weren’t nearly as many people as we’ve seen at other shows.

Some of the highlights- We finished building Brian’s model of downtown Salt Lake City’s Grand America Hotel. Spencer brought his 6′ (?) tall skyscraper with a new addition that makes it look quite a bit like the Empire State Building. Luke brought a great model of the Dawn Treader and he and I also brought a MOC Hogwarts Castle. Jason brought a bunch of really cool Classic Space sets again and displayed them on a corner of the layout. As always, there was lots of motion in our display. We always had something like four trains, three monorails and two race cars (powered by train motors) running at a time.

Reed is the only one who’s posted pictures online so far, but I expect there to be a bunch more in the next several days.

-Reed’s pictures- There’s some great shots there. The aerial shots especially are very much worth a look.
