Great report Steve. I completely missed the TLR convention and I live here. Head too much in the sands of work and tweeking the coupler slack on Evans boxcars, bethgons, husky-stacks and spine cars.
Steve has a really amazing layout. It's pilgrimage worthy. We have to be really careful with Bro Z. If we don't watch out he'll go from Godzilla size couplers and flanges to modern sacrilege and abomination of BNSF SD70s, heritage ES44ACs and miles of Bethgon Coal Porters and never get back to the venerable Minnesota Heartland. There's no humor or perspective to be found there amidst the modern monsters. I'm truly worried.
