Genesee Society of Model Engineers 2007 Show
at
Batavia Downs Race Track

The Genesee Society of Model Engineers invited the Rochester Area S-Gaugers and the Western New York S Scale Association to show our combined modular layout at their semi-annual train show held at Batavia Downs Race Track on November 11, 2007. For this show we set up our combined modular layout in a ten by thirty-two foot configuration.

Show Highlights

This enjoyable event was made possible by using the NASG S-MOD Standards which enabled the two clubs to connect their modules both electrically and mechanically.
George Cole, Bill Johnson and Chuck Smith appear in various photos below. We welcomed a new member, Alan Flandro, to our club at this show. Alan had to leave after the set-up part of the show was complete.
The push button that the boy in this photo is pressing was first used at this show.

New push buttons were installed just prior to this show to activate the action cars and accessories. The action cars and accessories on the layout are a big hit with our guests, as they can launch a rocket from a club-owned American Flyer rocket car (a great crowd pleaser) or, raise the logs so that the log loader accessory can load logs into the operating log car. Pressing another button dumps the logs into a log pond next to an operating sawmill. The sawmill then loads finished lumber into a gondola and there is a K-Line barrel loader accessory that loads barrels into a gondola by pressing other push buttons.

The Western New York S Scale Association has been abbreviated to WNYSSA in the captions of the photos below. The WNYSSA modules were on the opposite side of the modular layout from the Rochester Area S-Gaugers modules.
