Pics From The "Big E"

[eightyeightfan1]

Here some pics I took at the Big E model railroad show in Springfield Mass yesterday. Great deals and great meals(Gotta have a chili dog if you go).
Lots of moduals in ALL the scales.
This first one is an HO scale seaport scene.

And if you don't like operating those smaller "wimpy" scales, Pioneer Valley Live Steamers brought some of their 1:8 scale eqipment.
Ohhhh...If only I had a REAL BIG yard!

And here's the haul!
Spectrum H16-44 Better-half bought. The guy wanted $25, but I knocked him down to $20 because the hand rails need repair.
And a new Athern GP-35. Good deal at $60.00. Figures though, one of my local LHS guys that was there had the cheapest one.
It was fun. Lots to see. I highly recomend it!
