    Joe, I completely missed you. I spent the day in the IP (Nland Pacific) freemo N scale club. I was the guy in the red Angels shirt most likely buried in the laptop programing locos. If you visited us on Saturday I was in the Orange shirt. I was likely the only member not wearing his undersized club shirt. You posted some pics of the Ontario modules. Maybe I'll catch up to you at the Ontario Big Train Show?

    I thought the show was good for viewing some great modular layouts and some of the manufacturers had nice set ups to. I was a bit disappointed with some of the prices at the booths but that just means I'll have more money for online shopping.

    Thank you for posting the pics. No need to apoligize, I really enjoy looking at all the awesome pics posted here on TrainBoard. I am really getting antsy for the WGH tour to return to Saint Paul again. Since Long Beach is more than a few miles from Saint Paul MN, I really appreciate you posting the pics you took. Looked like an awesome show.....got any more pics? :)

    Hi John,

    Sorry I missed you to.

    Won't be in Ontario for the "G" scale trains as I'm only into N scale.

    Hi Matt,

    Glad you liked the pics, but that's it.

    I took those pics on Sunday Morning from 9 to 10 before the show opened. It was so crowded that I wouldn't have been able to get the "clean" shots that I did.

    I highly recommend this show to anyone within driving distance as it was the best show I've ever seen as far as "clubs" go and their modules go.

    It has been a multi scale show for a couple years now so you would fit in perfectly. It may be an oportunity for you.

    In other words, it's a BIG train show, not a BIG TRAIN show. :)

    Great pics Joe. Wish I could have been there, but thanks to you I got a nice view of the show and a trip down memory lane like Glen. Your booth looked very professional and I hope sales were good.

    Glad you liked the pics David.

    I always post as many as I can of all scales at the shows as they all have something to offer.
