NGRC - St. Charles
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 3:10 PM
Anyone planning on attending the National Convention in a few weeks?
Would love to meet a few of you. Even though I don't post all that much.
I waited to long to make reservations and finally found a room in ELGIN 16 miles away. Oh well at least I am getting to go. - Greg

I won't be able to make it, but if you go on the layout tours, say Hi to my Brother Doug and my Father Robert at my brother's layout in Bartlett.

What a great show. Rene, was great to meet you. I think there should have maybe been a live steam track. Or was there one earlier in the week? Wish we could have taken in some of the tours. My wife and I are planning our San Fran trip for next years convention and hopefully stay a little longer than one day. - Greg

Nice to meet several of you! Greg, no, there wasn't a steam track this year. [V] Several people we talked to were disappointed about that.
