Our club is set up at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, Ca this week. It is one of my favorite shows. It is set up in concert with the Museum's annual "Day Out With Thomas" week. The museum is open with Thomas running on the week end before Veteran's Day, Veteran's Day, and the weekend following Veteran's Day. This year the LA Division of the NMRA had a show at the South Coast Botanical Garden on Nov.7 & 8 as well, so we had part of the club set up a smaller layout at that show and the rest of us set up a larger layout at the museum. It is nice to set up a layout on a Friday and be able to run for 5 days before tear down, especially when the 5 days are spread over a full week. The down side is that the museum grounds are dusty, but we are in a much better building this year than we were last year.
