Bluebird Miniature Train Show
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 4:02 am
No really, that's where I'll be this weekend. The club is providing the "miniature train show" for the Wills Point Bluebird Festival. Wills Point is a small town east of Dallas. We'll be setting up in the old freight depot (ex- Texas & Pacific I think), within feet of the modern Union Pacific line.
The festival's reason for existence is, of course, something different, but hey it sounds like a lot of fun! Something a bit different, and I hear the trains are a popular thing at the festival.
Their website even has a picture of one of my modules:

Okay it doesn't show much of the module, and the train isn't mine (I don't have any Southern Pacific stock), but that is the left tunnel portal on my "Wyoming Module". At a whole 2ft x 2ft square, this module includes a rocky canyon/gulch with 3 multi-pier viaducts, a smaller bridge at the back, and a tunnel under a large hill! Better overall views can be found on the club's page for my Wyoming Module:

"Inspired" by Wyoming is probably the best description. Aiming for that summer burnt-out-grass look with a rocky gulch.
