[NscaleMike]

For those that have not heard...for NSCALE at least...Life Like displayed their new GP-60 and GP-18 with accumate couplers...very nice detail. Woodland Scenics has a new modular layout/scenery system called "MOD U RAIL", along with new Nscale figures. Classic Metal Works/Mini Metals have some really nice 1940'-50's era trailer trucks and some 60's era cars that will be out soon. Model Power displayed their new 4-4-0 American and 2-6-0 Mogul coming out next year, with interchangeable boilers and cabs to be used for the variations and phases that were produced. Their flyers states: "Metal Boiler, Metal Chassis, Golden White LED , State of the art 5-pole Mashima Motor (12 Volts, 19,000 rpm) Flywheel Drive, DCC compatible, Front/Rear Knuckle coupler compatible. Special features include: Separately applied handrails and other metal parts, two different headlight positions (Top/Center) Two different prototypical pilots (Foot Board/ Boiler Tube) Two Different Valve and Cylinder types (Square/Slanted Circular) two different cab window styles (rectangular/arched) two different tender truck styles (Andrews/Arch Bar) Undecorated offered with all components." If this has been posted before, sorry about that. I was there for a short period of time...took a few pics of the Life-Life locos and the MP steamers
