Christmas Train Season is in full swing even with the pandemic. Being creative, we are able to exhibit trains at the Great Big Greenhouse (in BonAir/Midlothian) and this morning starts the 3 day train show at the Science Museum of Virginia. The SMV show is "appointment only" to control the crowd size.
The pictures today show our set up at the SMV.....there are going to be stanchions, maintaining 6 foot distance and a "one-way" route through the exhibit hall while numbers are monitered at the door. We changed the layout configuration so it is "long and thin".
"Max Foods" is a building I created from 6 separate Lionel building kits that share the same footprint and many parts. Max, our 14 yo Golden Doodle "helped me" build it in the summer of 2017, while my son was away doing a summer law school internship. Sadly, Max (as many of you already know) passed earlier this month.....Max Foods is now a monument to his memory.
The Science Museum of Virginia is the re-purposed Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR Station. Looking out the window from the exhibit hall, we can see the passenger platforms.
Long and slim....stanchions, 6' distancing, a one-way route and number control is all planned to enhance a safe experience....
Have a great and safe weekend, folks!.
