Weekend of fun at the Great Train Robbery

This last weekend the NTRAK club SNNT ( www.snnt.org) set up our model trains at the Great Train Robbery event in Boulder City at the Southern Nevada Railroad museum.  It was a small layout of 6 ft. by 24 ft.   Pictures at http://www.snnt.org/boulderCity20100925.html.  Member ran model trains all day. I took my Santa Fe Super Chief and El Capitan passenger trains and ran them for long periods of time.  I also ran my Steam engine, a Challenger, pulling a Union Pacific passenger consist.

  The actors dressed in old west garb stage robberies on the prototype train that takes passengers from Boulder City Station to behind the Railroad Pass Casino.  During breaks the actors lounged around the Engine house where we were set

Our next set up will be in Barstow California at the old Harvey House.  Unfortunately, I will miss this one.
