What a Great Show!
« on: April 18, 2009, 08:41:37 PM »
I only wish that I could have been there.  Seeing photos of the event allows me to live vicariously.

Thank you for the first batch of pictures!

I grabbed this message from Davis {Dave Woodhead}:

Hi -
    While not at all comprehensive, here is a webpage with a few photos
that turned out OK (not fuzzy!) -
    Thanks, everyone, for a fine day -

Yes, it was a great show!  The greatest lies not in the attendance which I believe was up to the level of past shows but rather in the opportunity once a year to dialogue with lots of narrow gauge modellers in person who I don't normally see each year.

I didn't sell a single copy of the Trainz simulator from my booth (and that is juts fine) probably because I spent most of my time wandering around talking to others and taking pictures.  I will post the pictures as soon as I get some glitches out of the posting process I am experiencing.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the two clinics I attended .. on  by Niall Mackay on his Picture Project for the Huntsville and Lake of bays and another by Ferd Mels on how to approach entering the brave new world of scratchbuilding.  Thanks to them for sharing.

And a huge thanks to all of the folks who put the time and energy into organizing and running the show.

It was a good show, although I wasn't able to stay long - BUT....did I detect a lack of Gn15 layouts this year???

Lack of GN15 layouts = Brian Fayle, Scott and Chris did not exhibit any layouts in GN15 which would have reduced the number significantly.
cheers Ferd

PS- I missed seeing them there also.
