JFugate,

Thanks a lot!

Please be sure to let us know when you've returned with the goods and where to "click" to see it.

Cheers to you in Run 8!

No wonder they are losing about 500 or more members a year

Sorry, Dave. This is the issue designed to be handed out AT the NTS. That makes it either ahead of schedule or right on schedule. It has nothing to do with the convention. :-)

Hey Guys,

Please don't forget to stop by the SOUNDTRAXX booth and listen to the demonstration that they have on the new Tsunami Sound decoder that many of us have been waiting for! Take Digital pictures. Post them when you get back. Give us your opinions and critiques. Bruce from Litcfield Station will also be there as he knows the owners of Soundtraxx.

Another thought: Would be really neat if a Tsunami demonstration could be video taped (with sound of course) and posted on this forum.

Thanks for considering!


Well now, I brought a commercial-grade digital video camera from MyMemoirs Video (the guys who are distributing my Siskiyou Line Video series) to the convention to video my DCC clinic, and I was planning to walk around the train show and video some interesting stuff with it.

So I will do just that. SoundTraxx booth. Got it.

Anyone else have any requests?

Once I get the video footage, I'll try to post it to model-trains-video.com next week.

Bergie:

I'll be at the train show ... in fact I'm writing this from my hotel room in Seattle, so I've been at the convention since Monday.

MyMemoirs Video, the company that produces and distributes my Siskiyou Line video series will be there, and I'll be spending some time in their booth on Friday and Saturday.

Your killing me Bergie. I Wish I could go. We had talk about it, but in the end I vetoed it for this year. Where is it supposed to be held next year anyway.

National Train Show in Seattle this weekend

Will I be seeing any of you at the National Train Show in Seattle, WA this weekend? I'll be there on Friday and Saturday, but I won't be in our booth much on Friday. Saturday I'll try to spend as much time as possible in the Model Railroader/Kalmbach booth.

Stop by and say hello if you're going to be there. [:)]
