I've posted my Thursday photos from the 2008 NSC and National N Scale Convention. For me, the day was action-packed full from morning to night. Meeting great people. Having my mind expanded every minute. Bob Knight's (TrainCat) clinic on building brass kits blew up my mind (that's good) on what is possible. Great contest entries. NTrak layout is being built, 700 modules worth. Room Sales superb for visiting and socializing. Visited with Charles Hopkins and saw his latest custom loco painting. The pictures above represent sample of all of these and more: national_n_scale_convention_2008_thur_june_26 Photo Gallery by atsf_arizona at pbase.com And I have also uploaded these to Paul Down's collective web site of photos of this convention, again, that URL where you can see photos from *many* attendees. This is great because my photos only represent one small cross section of all that is happening. See that web site at: .Mac Web Gallery Enjoy!

Another great post John. When you get back here to Jersey,you MUST SEE Rick & Linda's layout. Pick me up & I'll go with you. I can't get enough of it.
Any new product announcements?I saw the one about Fox Valley's new car,and the Z Scale SD40-2.interested in seeing what else is coming out.
Posted Saturday pictures at: n_scale_convention_2008_saturday Photo Gallery by atsf_arizona at pbase.com As far as announcements, in the above pictures, you'll see that: - Athearn is displaying pre-prod models of their N scale FP45 and F45 - PCM showed real pre-prod models of their PA1, so apparently project is moving forward - Walthers / Lifelike had pre-production sample of Y3 2-8-8-2 running, sounds pretty good to me! I'm sure there are many others, but these are a few that caught my eye.
