    From the Liverpool, NSW model train show in Australia, October, 2004. G scale USA steam. I went to the show with Jason, Colonel, Sten and others.

    Those kind of pictures remind me of how long it's been since I was at a really great train show. Twenty years or more I guess.

    Always working and living in small towns has a lot to do with that. Local shows and swap meets never attract the bigger city dealers - and none of the manufacturers that's for sure.

    Couple that with the fact that the largest shows in my part of the world are held in mid winter. Organizers can always count on huge crowds anyway and so they don't care about people who might have to drive 500km over high mountain passes - in February.

    Nice looking engine though.

    Dave-

    Don't feel too bad. Where I am, there's little activity. And no shows.

    But there is a small hobby shop that's trying. So, I maintain hope.

    Nice looking engine. Bet that would severely dent a wallet!

    :D
