a few photos from the Raleigh Train Show

[screwysquirrel]

I took a BUNCH of pictures at the Raleigh train show.

there was a module at nearly every scale: O, S, 2 HO, Ntrak + oNe Trak on a combined module, and even a Lego trains modular layout.

A few of the more choice images will be posted here. I took over 100, but I'll limit myself to just a few

HO HO HO!

this Amazing Waterfall module was on the 'Great Appalachian Railroad' modular layout run by the Greensboro modelers:

N-trak

The N-trak modular layout was quiter than I expected. Here the tail end of a long freight rounds a curve.. the NTrak is where the freight is going, to the right are oNeTrak modules

LEGOs!!!

They may not be the most accurate models, but clearly they're having a load of fun here on the Lego Layout. Check that Double Helix!

the NIFTYIEST

The niftiest thing I saw wasn't on a layout...it was this Drive-in, actually playing movies from a portable DVD player!

SS like I said in the chat I saw that at the Dunham studios show in NYC and was also very impressed.

Neat pictures, SS. Thanks for bringing part of the show to us!

Thanks for taking us with you SS
That Lego is getting bigger, maybe a stepping stone for our future modlers.

Thanks for the tour SS. That Drive-In theater was made by Miller Engineering, aka Microstructures, and was available in HO and I believe O scale as well.
I really like that Lego layout as well - it is too cool!

cheers

What a great photo! The marquee is excellant! Where did you take it? I wonder if the marquee is avaialble seperately? I'm not crazy about the screen but the sign is great.

Awesome photo your Baroness!

 

[screwysquirrel]

Yep

Except for the fact this one said 'Now Playing: Titantic' it looks like the same drive in.

Uh-oh - a little clarification is in order. I didn't take that photo - I got it from the Miller Engineering website back when they were still selling the kit. It's sold out now, so Gary I think you're out of luck.

cheers
