I am bumping the post and looking forward to seeing a "saucy wench" Saturday at noon at the Kalmbach booth for the annual group photo.  New participants are always welcome. 

The only wenches I have seen at Trainfest were at The Tool Man's booth -- near the scwoow dwivuhs.

Bob, et. al at Kalmbach.  Is there any chance you can post a schedule when each of you will be at Trainfest next week?  Will Roger be there siging copies of his book?  I have some heavy hints out around home that an autographed copy would be greatly appreciated as a Christmas gift.

To all,

The "saucy wench" plan on being there Saturday.  Noon sounds like a good meeting time for the picture. 

Keep on training,

Mike,

Does this mean that you will be accompanying your lovely bride?  It would be nice to meet you.

I plan on being at Trainfest on Saturday.  I look forward to going every year.  There is a whole group of us that travel down.  I always look forward to meeting any other forum members.  Doug M, are you still thinking of coming up?

And each year some of us regular Forum participants meet for a group photo.

Here are the details, taken from Keith Schmidt's posting in the Trains and Model Railroader parts of the forums:  Trainfest is held Saturday November 13 and Sunday November 14, 2010    9:00am to 5:30pm  at Wisconsin's State Fair Park in West Allis WI (a short drive from Milwaukee per se).

In the past we have met at the Kalmbach display at Trainfest for a group photo, and most years some Kalmbach staffers join us for the picture.  Keith is suggesting Saturday November 13, 2010 at 12 noon at the Kalmbach Booth.
