BayLTC Museum Show, Decmeber 2004

Posted April 15, 2005 00:09 | Category: Train Shows | #

Last December, BayLUG and BayLTC put on a display at the Museum of American Heritage in Palo Alto, CA. This was our second long-term exhibit, after the one in Pleasanton in June of 2004. Here are pictures taken both during and during tear-down after the show.

I took the pictures taken during the teardown phase while suffering from a terrible fever and flu, so I don't remember much about it! But the pictures speak for themselves anyway...

BayLTC "Dress Rehearsal" Meeting, November 2004

Posted November 23, 2004 00:03 | Category: BayLUG | #

My digital camera troubles continue at this meeting. This time I brought it, but with three sets of nearly-flat batteries. I only managed to get 5 pictures.

This meeting was held at Bruce's church gymnasium as a "dress rehearsal" for the next weekend's Great American Train Show display. We set up the tables and track along with major landmarks to make sure that it all fits.

BayLUG Meeting, October 2004

I forgot my digital camera when I went to this meeting, so I took pictures with my cell phone instead. Apologies for the poor quality.

This meeting featured a Halloween contest as well as several space and Technic models not shown before.

Turn out the lights, the party's over...

Sunday, July 11 was the last day of our month-long display at the Amador-Livermore Valley Historical Society and Museum. After the museum closed at 4pm, we took down the "sneeze guards" and table skirts for a photo shoot, culminating in a group photo.

For the penultimate weekend of our month-long display at the Amador-Livermore Valley Historical Society and Museum, we put together a 4th of July Parade. Only problem is, the museum is closed on the 4th. However, I took these pictures on the 3rd:
