Photo Index

• We set up the Mini Mods at Touch A Truck.

• Joe brought the white trailer with his red truck he bought from Bob.

• And we got set up pretty quickly.

• Konan the Librarian showed us where to set up and lent us a table. Also provided doughnuts!

• We set up the mini mods, the switching layout and a shade. Notice that Harry and Tom haven't moved.

• Still no motion. What DID those two do all morning?

• There was ice cream in the background.

• Joe provided a lady bug in case we needed and extra loco.

• Our display for the morning.

• The crew consists of Gary,

• Harry,

• Tom,

• But Joe was hiding behind the camera so you get a picture of a unicyclist instead.

• I'd suggest next time, we put the switching layout in the shade.

• Percy deals with the troublesome trucks.

• While Tom deals with the troublesome tykes.

• People really don't know how switches work.

• Gary's view of the crowd.

• A line to drive a train.

• EVERYBODY likes trains.

• Here comes Percy!

• Next to us, the drummers kept things going smoothly.

• Tulsa fire department was there.

• Showing the kids around.

• An ambulance.

• The Channel 6 storm chasing truck.

• And News 8.

• Herbie did a brief cameo.

• And a jeep from Jurassic Park.

• The General Lee was here, but I didn't see the Duke Boys anywhere. Must have been hiding from Boss Hog.

• A time machine. Notice it wasn't the TARDIS.

• Doc's suit ready for him.

• I think most surviving DeLorean's have been turned into time machines by now.
