Fall Fun Fest, Rosenberg Museum, September 19, 2015

Before the crowds gathered these photos show our layout at the museum. The museum allowed us to come and set up the layout the Saturday before, so all we had to do was hook up the electrical, set up the structures and trees, and get our trains running. We were done by 10am, with the visitors coming in around 10:30. We were set up in our usual spot in a garage-like building (with no air-conditioning). In this photo Howard (left) and Don and keeping a close eye on what I'm doing with the camera!

This photo shows the entire layout, which for this location consisted of just the ten core modules, because that's all the space we had. Howard is setting up his NYC passenger train, while Don (in the white shirt) is following his freight train along.

Rusty (left) is running his short freight train on the passenger line. Don's S-Helper engine doesn't like the presence of non-DCC engines on the layout while it is running, so since none of the passenger engines that Rusty had are decoder equipped, he decided to run a freight train for a while.

The Santa Fe Warbonnets made a guest appearance and parked behind the museum's tracks for about 15 minutes allowing us to photograph them. They were there from about noon to 12:15, so a few people missed them because the previous announcements had been that they wouldn't get there until about 1:45pm.

The Rosenberg Museum has a permanent G-scale outdoor layout. It is a real crowd-pleaser and a lot of fun to watch. The Houston Area G Gaugers club is tasked with building and maintaining this layout, and they are doing a great job. The buildings and scenery are starting to come along nicely.
