SPECIAL Trainfest 2017

Since I couldn't go, I'm hoping to see lots of pics and stories for a vicarious thrill! lol

 

Wake me up when Kato finally announces the NYC Dreyfuss Hudson and 20th Century Limited trainset.

 

Well so far its MEH!

 

Well, it doesn't really open until tomorrow. 9:00 CST.

 

New bay window cabooses from Bluford: http://www.bluford-shops.com/bluford_93_043.htm

 

That's great. If the quality is equal to what I have seen in their hoppers and gondolas I will likely order the UP models and maybe the WP as well.

 

Good to see that WP is part of the lineup.

"This item is only available for pick up at Trainfest."

 

I'm disappointed that apparently hardly any of our members went and took pics or came back with stories and news, except possibly Point353 and Lexxer.

 

I’m surprised no one mentioned the InterMountain GP10 with LokSound announcement.

 

Well that's not how you spell Shay. lol. Oh well.

 

Looking at the Trainfest web site I am impressed. 200,000 square feet is about the size used at the National Train Show we had in San Jose 17 years ago and that was great. Also impressive is the ratio of layouts to vendors, well worth the price of admission. I'm on the west coast but attending Trainfest one year is now going to be on my bucket list.

 

Me too. Here are links to some youtube videos that I found.

 

Great stuff, thanks!

 

Sorry, I didn't get to go there, either.
