The Glancy Modular Layout will also be at Maker Faire once again! We love this event, and love The Henry Ford!
Thursday 5PM. Got back from the set up abd all is running well. The layout is located at the opposite - back end of the track the Allegany is on - right be the doors the engine came in many years ago. Someone should be there from about 11AM Friday until 6 PM testing and running trains. Come back and see us or see us during the Maker's fair Sat and Sun.
We spent all day from 10AM to about 4PM running and testing different engines today. We had a lot of the Museum normal visitors stop buy and all had a good time. When I was running I let all the children run the trains - I even had the MTH app running the MTH engines. I will try to let the Maker's Fair visitors run my train also. The Glancy group set up there layout today so stop by there layout on the way back to the Ford Model Railroad layout. See you Sat and Sun
Here are are a few pics of Glancy's completed 16x40 modular setup. We like to build our layouts larger but had to fit into a tight space this year! We are just happy to be setup just next to the museum's permanent Lionel display on the side of the allegheny

Darn...I'll be there next weekend. Would have loved to see you!
Just got back, 9PM, from the Maker Faire' and had a great weekend. Glancy had a great layout there and had a good croud all weekend long. The museum layout and their vonunteers were also great. Back in our corner we had good croud both days and when I was running most of the children got a chance to run TMCC, Legacy and MTH engines with both the remote an Wi-Fi apt on a notebook. I had a little time to look at the show and it is well worth the trip to see. My thanks to all the visitors that stoped by to see the Ford Model Railroad Club layout, the people that put on the Maker Faire' and their contacts with us. An especially big big thanks to the Museum contacts who made our stay very pleasent and enjoyable. Again thanks to everyone!!! Bruce
