Trainfest 2008 Record Attendance and 2 photos
Posted by kschmidt on Monday, November 10, 2008 10:43 PM

Greetings,

Thought I would share some photos from the TRAINS.COM Forum member photo from Trainfest 2008.  The group this year was pretty good compared to other years.  We actually have two photos featuring different people in each one.  Each photo features a different Kalmbach employee also.  I have also heard that Trainfest again set an attendance record with over 21,000 people attending the two day show.  WOW !!    Great News. 

For the photos we didn't write down who was who so if you are willing to admit to it, please point yourself out in the photos.  Shot #1 features Cody Grivno from Model Railroader  and Shot #2 features Mike Yuhas from TRAINS and one of the original "Trackside Photo Contest" participants. 

Shot #1  I must apologize, not the greatest shot, I didn't bring along the nice DSLR, just a point and shoot. 

Shot #2  

I will be the first to ID myself.  I'm the big guy with the green T-shirt.  I wore the T-shirt to get a free DCC decoder and it worked. 

Till 2009 

Keith

 I'm in the red shirt and bibs in both shots.  I can figure out who is who, but I won't post.  Some people like to keep anonymous.

I'm in the white CNW shirt.  I know most of the folks there...but not the two on the right side of the picture (photographer's right side that is).
