all, went up to Lowell for Saturday of the NASG convention....nice little town..... the models in the contest room were fantastic (hopefully someone else got photos and will post)...there was a huge station shed complex with catenary, a very interesting ice house diorama, and many others that were just over the top modelling examples!
missed out on and RDC-1 for under $400.00, and stopped by Hoquat and S-Helper and left some bucks behind with both of these dealers... River Raisin had their SP steam locomotives on display (beautiful!) and their Baldwin Sharknose diesels looked awesome (and unfortunately are just beyond my budget.....)..... MLW had one of their CN pacifics all done up and running back and forth (looks even better in person than it does in their ads and online!...and it runs well too!!) Grand River Models had their Middleton & Sons warehouse (kit#2) build, painted and displayed, and it was awesome!!!!! Des Plaines Hobbies also had bunches of goodies out for sale ... I've probably forgotten a bunch of people (I do DC scale so a lot of the American Flyer stuff just doesn't get a second glance from me... but there was bunches of AF there!) And the layouts seemed to run very well throughout the day..... It was a 26 hour, 600 mile round trip to Lowell from Philly and back with a quick 5 hour nap early Saturday morning in West Springfield, MA ...kind of grueling, and really glad my fellow railroad club member Nick drove on I-95 (tooo many cars driving way tooooo close for me!)...... my first NASG.....it was worth it! I am looking for some standard Baggage and RPO cars from the American Models 5 car sets,...... if anyone would like to part with them contact me off list.....roadname not important, and would prefer scale wheels, but hi-rail/AF are fine too....
