After spending last year's show outside, this year we were invited to set up inside the museum. This helped a lot on the first day when it was quite hot and humid. Sunday was much milder. The heavy rains that we encountered in Houston on Sunday morning driving to the show luckily never materialized in Galveston. Turnout on Saturday was good, but not as much as last year. Sunday's turnout was quite a bit less. We were right in front of the main entrance of the museum. This photo shows one view people saw.

It was Sunday. Did Bob suddenly find religion?... No, we spent the first two hours on Sunday trying to figure out why the passenger main line had a perpetual short in it. We eventually discovered that it was one of the Digitrax panels. Bob is opening it up to see if he can find the cause of why the panel failed.
