A day at the swap meet.

Hey guys,
We had a little swap meet here in Phoenix and I took a few pictures of the happenings.

Pretty good attendance...



My score! Two G scale coaches and an N scale caboose.



The outside G scale layout...





The indoor HO layout...

Hey Train Nut, really nice pictures, thanks for sharing. It looks like they have a over head G scale track in the HO picture.

Yes, they do... good eyes. They don't run it very often and when they do, it's wise to not stand under the track as it has a habit of derailing and trying to fall to the floor. Perhaps that's why they have not expanded it to circle the entire building.

Nothin's hit the floor yet lol.problem is a couple of members want to run a train that was a tad bit to long for the S-curve on the south side.
That and we were a bit to busy to keep a weather eye on that layout.

Yeh, I was standing underneath it one day and I thought it was either gonna hit me on the head or I was gonna catch it on the way down. But your right, it never made it to the floor luckily. That was the circus train wasn't it?
