I wound up doing the PCC show by myself today.  Two others had planned to join me, but the weather forecast caused a change in plans.  The show organizers actually closed things down at 1:00, citing safety as their reason.  The layout was 10.5 feet long and used my wide corners for the first time.  They worked great; the drawback is lots of space behind the modules, so the bus wires are obvious.  I had trouble getting the Digitrax system to start Loconet, but fortunately I had brought my NCE Powercab and that worked perfectly.  A few pictures are posted in the Photos section of the Groups.io site -

The show was reasonably well attended - something over 200 paid (kids are free, normal attendance is pushing 500-ish).  There were definitely kids at the T-Trak layout - it was a non-stop four hours.  Two news cameras were there.  I think channel 10 was there early, and channel six was filming later.  My wife caught a promo "news story" on channel 10 this morning - the link is:
  https://www.news10.com/community/albany-train-show-rolling-into-town-saturday/ .  Click the video link on that page.  It has a clip from last fall's show, which briefly shows Stephen and me at the layout, around 1:27.  If anyone finds links to video of today's show, please post them!
