I'm bumping up my own posting here.  We hope to see many of you at Trainfest this year and in particular, at the Kalmbach booth on Saturday at noon for a group photo.  All who visit these Forums are very welcome -- the more the merrier.

Dave

I plan on being there. 

Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

Be sure to stop by the Northeastern Wisconsin O Gaugers club layout at Trainfest.  This is our 2nd year there.  Unfortunately I can't attend, but there will be a great bunch of guys there willing to chat about our passion for O gauge trains - running almost all manufacturer's goods.  NEW O runs on Atlas track, and has had a club modular layout for the past 10 years - our club is 11 years old.  Have a great time at Trainfest!
