train show

[Anonymous]

I was pleased to see several young people participating. I noticed some new layouts that I was not familiar with. The one O scale layout that had the amusement park rides and music...that baby had to cost a fortune to build! To be into O scale, you really have to have the money! I watched as one O scale coal train went buy and counted the cars. With cars, caboose and engine there was probably about $4000 rolling by! It seemed like there were several good N scale layouts. ChessieFan13 did you ever check into the club? I think I'll rejoin at the beginning of the new year. In March there is the Greenbo show and it is always good. Hope to see you there. I forgot one thing. Talk about deals, I got a Centerline track cleaning car for $10! Yes it was used but still as good as new.

I can't specifically answer the question about the engine. Perhaps it has a flywheel which takes a moment to "spin down."

I just wanted to say the Huntington show is certainly a nice show. I've enjoyed the time's I've attended same.

Usually in areas of lower population it is difficult to put together a "larger" show.

Well here in Huntington we just finished up the train show. AMRS the local group here put it on. Was a good time.6 or 7 goood layouts.HO N.........O it was good.5 or 6 vendors with killer prices..........me myself I picked up an athearn GP40.............my first blue box kit of a loco...........well it was a fun kit to do................now I understand about the GROWL that everyone has posted about. Its a smooth runner got good low end speed control............one thing that i have noticed is that if Im running at 80%speed and cut it down quickley it takes a second for it to reach the lower speed kinda like a real engine. Well that is about it ...............oh yea i picked up the engine for 27.00$......Think it was a good buy! well there ya go later...................J.W.
