Events: 2021 Railroad Prototype Modelers (RPM) Collinsville Meet Photos

With the re-start of conventions after the pandemic, in 2021 we again showed the St. Louis club loop modules at the yearly RPM meet in Collinsville, IL.  We had a good turnout of hands to help bring the modules from their storage locker to the convention center  where we set up the loop in about 1 1/2 hours. The loop is getting very close to allowing a tool-less setup, one of the goals of this collection of modules.  While we will never attain 100% tool-less because we will always need levels, this loop is very easy to set up .  

The show is a two day event and we always had someone on duty to operate a train for the public and the layout was well received by show  attendees.   

The afternoon of the final day we spent a very enjoyable  time  operating the layout using train orders put together by Chuck Graham.  There were 2 freight trains and 1 passenger train.  Each train had an engineer and a conductor and there were plenty of train fans watching and laughing with us as we tried to fulfill our orders.  Great fun amongst friends and fans.
