From: Alan Lambert Bill, Wish I had shows that pop up out of nowhere to go to. I could go to Temple, Texas about 100 miles one south, or even farther south about 500 from Fort Worth where I am. Cost too much to go and find nothing that you want. I was licky at our Plano, Texas show We had one vender that had been to Houston for that train show. George Greenwood from Franklin, Tennessee was there and I bought a 752 2 button Coal loader from him. The other 2 "S" venders only had AF, and some American Models and S-Helper that I already had(bummer). Thanks, Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer club

I finally went to a train show this morning. It was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical Historical Society http://www.prrths.com/ and was held in Steelton., Pa. I was floored by all the attendance. There was a fair amount of S gauge there but it was all American Flyer. I purchased a new print on Reading Railroad Facilities Book which I have found to be of interest and I bought an HO Diesel House that I believe I can chop up into a larger one for my Jefferson Central. I observed a rather large N Scale module layout at the show. Honestly, the trains looked so small I thought it was Z gauge. But, I saw a guy place a plastic piece on the track, sit a piece of rolling stock on it, and the car ran down onto the track and hooked up with a waiting train. Pretty neat, I believe HO has a rerailer too? How that N scale stuff stays on the track I never will understand. Another thing of interest that I recently discovered was how to bring back my dust covered rolling stock to like new. Purchased a can of "LIQUID GOLD" and spray it on a rag and then carefully wipe the piece you want to clean up, it brings it back to like new. I also sprayed a light 2" brush with it and brushed locomotives, amazing improvement. OH! When I got home around Noon today, Mary asked me where I had been. Go Figure, as I cleared it with her if I could go in the first place! "S"ee Ya, Bill (Fraley)
