Your lucky then, not all of us have been that fortunate in our exchanges with the NMRA, guess it depends on your local situation. So enjoy, post some pics for us, wish I could go but the drive from LA would be a killerShock [:O]

   Have fun with your trains

Yes I do know him and will ask him. He is planning on selling that small size track radius.

Also just for the record, I am not a member of our local NMRA but do work with many of them at the Musuem. I am an officer of the Museum (VP). And the Musuem is not owned or operated by the NMRA, they our renting it from us for the day to have thier open house.

Vic;

That would double your current track configuration, wouldn't it? or have you been doing some building that you've not been telling us about?

Update ! We had over 800 visitors stop by and see trains today. I belive most of the activity was in the large gauge room ("S" - "O" - "G") scale.

A sign of a long day!
