Excellent collage. Nice fall colors on the trees and great industrial structures. Are those Jim's ? Nice bridgework on the thru module. Who's is that one ?
Thank you Garth, an interesting set of photos. Number 34 of 59 is rather fun. I am assuming that it a model of an extensive G Scale layout in Z scale. Am I correct? What scale are the people? Rob Pearce (aka ViperBugloss)
I am sorry to say since my stoke I am even worse with remembering names, than before, and what I do remember is telephone numbers and internet handles from Trainboard and Z Central station, so the names do not stick with me when I meet people at shows for the first time,and have no other social interaction with their them by name. Yes there was some great modules at this show, the first time I have seen them in person as a complete unit but I have seen EIT27's work piece meal over the last few years as the car loading facility and the grain elevator and the downtown scene as they were developing, but they are really impressive in person especially the lighting effects, I got there on Friday at noon and while I was at Mr Dave's layout until early afternoon on Sunday, I did not get a chance to put out any of my stuff or run it, so none of my new stuff was seen, not a problem as I was free to roam around the show which I would not have been able to do if I was running trains and I enjoyed that freedom. The fall colours are the work of Trainboard member EIT27 his layout was operating on DCC via android blue tooth connection to his computer JMRI and NCE system. For Z, in my estimation, his layout was best of the Cleveland show, but there were some other notable things, to see on the other layouts, like a pair of great lakes freighters, from Lake Freighter Minis from cars stock on Thomas' Coal dock scene, and a nice paddle wheeler and a pusher tug on Midwest Haulerz modules
34 is the G scale Garden railway scene, where Z scale is used as the garden railway, and is the work of Ellen. 59 is pure Z scale and is part of David George's layout depicting a New England Coastal scene. regards Garth
Hi Garth, thanks for sharing! This way we at the other side of the ocean can see a glimps of nts /Frank
The bridgework on the through module as well as the paddle-wheeler on it are mine. The bridges and boat are all scratch-built out of wood, index card, and Evergreen plastic sheet and "H" beams. Thanks,
