I think a good time was had by all. I meet so many new  folks  that after awhile i lost track.

But I did remember many names and faces from two years ago. Takes awhile.

I did not spend a dime other than travel. 

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

So here are the details: This morning, I picked up an MTH CSX Dash 8. The first one I got wasn't working properly, the rear truck wasn't running. I went and gave it back, and got another one. I also gopt 2 MTH boxcars, all from Nicholas Smith. Later on, I got 2 strobe lights from Dallee Electronics, an I installed them both on my cabooses. I was going to install the red one on my SP F7's, but I decided not to. Well, I had the hole drilled for it, and not knowing it, I drilled thru a wire, and now the lights don't work. Anyway, a few minutes before the show was closing, I stopped by St. Aubins and got 2 MTH Unibody tank cars in NS and Sunoco.

It was a good show, and I had a great time with my club.

Now I have to re-wire the F7 lights when I get home.

We'll be going to York on Wednesday. On Thursday will be helping the Central CT G Module Group with their set up.

For additional ECLSTS pre-show information try www.gardentrainsradio.com

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends plus picking up some bargains.  This will be our 9th show.  Going to York is always worth the trip.

I'll be there all day, Saturday, with my club's display (the WVMGRS), a couple of models in the model contest and picking up a few boxes of SS track for layout expansion this spring. I'll be the 6'3" guy with the ponytail.

I'll be there doing some clinics and Friday night chat at the motel.

I'm the funny looking guy with a train bridge on the back of his shirt.

Please come up and say ,HEY!!!!!!

I was gonna start a thread about this, but it seems I found one. I will be there Friday afternoon, (school until 2:15) and should be there by about 5pm. I will be there all Saturday too. I will be with my GRR Club, SEPGRS. You will be able to find me easily because I will be the only teenager helping with the display. Hope to see everyone there.

PS, stop by and say hi.
