Hi All Here is something I just got from my other lists. If you have not been to one of these meets I highly encourage it. They are not railroad or era specific but you will get a stunning selection of models that will inspire and awe you. They have possibly become my favorite train event, I like them that much. The meet (Railroad Prototype Modelers) that is in my area is Bi-Yearly, alternating with the Pittsburgh area. I wish they would be here every year.
These meets are where a showing of S would be good. John Degnan and Jim King made their S presence known at 1 of these meets. The attendees are the true die hard modelers. You may get a convert from the How Ordinary Scale with eyes that need something bigger. I have a link on my conventions page for these meets but I still have to make that page. I have them done for the NASG conventions and the CJSS Get Together. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** *********************************** Western Prototype Modelers Meet (WPM) Oct. 6, 2007 Posted by: "benjaminfrank_hom" [EMAIL PROTECTED] benjaminfrank_hom Thu Sep 6, 2007 3:37 pm (PST) Forwarded from Dave Hussey: Western Prototype Modelers Meet (WPM) 18th Annual Meet, Saturday October 6, 2007 The West Coast's largest gathering for prototype modelers, now on Saturday Model Display: WPM has 6000 sq. ft. of display space for dioramas and models!
