I thought I'd show couple of photos of the show.


Ric Golden, Skip and myself. And couple of others kept an eye on the GRYS display table over the weekend.
But we did miss Marc and /or Rene at the show. You missed a good show. Tho the attendence was not what we wanted. The last day was heavy rains, etc.
I did meet Bryan at the show from here and many others, I found it was really hard keeping track of names and sig names and who is on which site.[:p][?][:I]

The Aristo Team was great to work with and Ron and Sue Wenger did wonderful on making this happen in the midwest. I just hope they can come back and visit. The midwest seems slow to catch on to things any way.


Standing: Navin, Adam gerancher, Allen, Lewis, dave Newall, Ron Wenger

Front: Dave Gerancher, Maryanne Polk, Priya davion, Sue wenger.
Theres lots of photos on different sites. And if you'vr never been to a LS train show you need to plan to go.[^]

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Hey Marty,
It was great to finally meet you in person. Looking on the map you are only about 10 hours south of Wpg. We plan on hitting Denver in August so we will try to hook up with you again then. Loved your rotary snow plow. I will definately be building one here. Problem is when it snows here...it snows! Your seminar on weathering was awesome and well put together. For those of you who have not seen a lot of Marty's photos, this guy will try anything. He did a very cool drive by shot that looked just awesome. Marty can you put that on here for us? There sure were a lot of bargains to be had. St. Aubins brought a semi load. The club layouts were exellent. Gave me lots of ideas for indoors. Sure was a long drive...18 hours...but us truck drivers made it through. Meeting Lewis Polk was great. I don't think he will soon forget me.***grin*** Go Canadian Road Names! Met a lot of great people along the way. Even had lunch with Rene in Waukesha and toured Kalmbach. What a place!!! Rene is a terriffic lady and a wonderful host. We are blessed to have her as our moderator on this forum. Thanks for the photos Marty! Later eh...Brian.

I heard Polk announced a soon-to-be-released sound system that uses off-the-shelf memory sticks into which you download the sound file(s) of your choice and then simply plug the stick into the sound mother board. Sounds interesting! I heard 90 days, but clueless as to the proposed price points.

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Jim, you know i heard Mr Lewis share and I just can't recall the price. Thought it was around $100 bucks.
Bryan I will have to find that photo and resize it for here. I'm always open for tips how how to give better clinics. E-mail me on things that could help others to see or understand better.

Marty & Brian wish I could have been there. I need the vacation. Had to move my father though. There is always next year[:D]. Is it in the same location every year?

Hey Matt,
Far as I recall it will be in the same place on the same weekend. Will have to check on that. Too early to tell if I will return but plan on attending something next season. Always a good time with Garden Train guys...and gals! Later eh...Brian.
