Show Report: Wayne PAL - March 22, 2026

by Mike Maloney


Once again, w
e set up a T-TRAK layout at the Wayne PAL on Sunday, March 22, 2026. Our location was in the main room with an allocation of 8 tables. John O and Dirk N were the first arrivals and had the tables and tablecloths ready to go upon the other members arrivals. The layout went together reasonably quickly and was running shortly before 9 AM. John also provided the power and both tracks ran DCC.

Modules were brought by John O, Phil, Dirk, Anthony and Tony, Mike M and Tom from T-n-T Trains.  Members present and running trains were Dirk, Phil, Anthony (with friends), Tony, Mike M, Keith, Rob Z, Steve W, John P, and Will. (let me know if I missed anyone!)

The layout ran well all day with some derailments with longer / more finicky equipment and there was nice mix of trains from modern to steam.

We also had some minor finger-poking and manual derailments by a special-needs group that came through. One of the chaperones interviewed Anthony and hopes to have that posted on her friend's model railroad blog. 

After a light afternoon crowd, the show closed at 2pm. We were all packed up and ready to go by 2:45. Thanks to everyone for pitching in!
