2003 NMRA Toronto Convention
Posted by EventPhotoMan on Thursday, April 13, 2017 7:21 PM

I need a favour from everyone...

I'm looking for pictures and videos of my layout that was on display at the Toronto 2003 NMRA Convention.

My layout was small with alot of Norfolk Southern locomotives on it.

My layout also use a home-made software to operate the DCC layout (similar to a train simulator) with live video feedback from an onboard camera, in the lead locomotive.

https://youtu.be/Tb-ynysMx5A Here is a very poor video I made 10plus years ago.

If you have any picture or video, please, please get in touch with me. I'd like to get better and more of what little I have.

If my old web server is still up...http://atc.lovethosetrains.com/personal_toronto_show_2002.html

Here is what my software looks like running it with NEC, and video/audio feed back from the camera.

I'm looking to get my layout back up and running soon; its been ten years or more since I've worked on this project. I' can only imagine with the advancements in technology, what I can do now.

By the way, the software allows to, over the internet to run my train on my layout, in real time! Back then the internet was slower. I look forward to what I can do with gigabit connections.

Anyways, if anyone has any picture or videos on the 2003 event. Please get in touch with me.

I sent a copy of this to a friend who has gone to NMRA conventions for decades.  But I suspect he has his photos/vids organized by name of layout owner.  And even if we went to Toronto in 03 he likely did not go to every layout.

Amended Post: My friend went to the convention but says he did not go to your layout on tour so has no video or photos to share of it.  Sorry.
