    Train show - DC part 5 of??? Other than N

    glad to see your photos, Bill. I wish I had met you there. But then there were a lot of folks on the floor. I really liked that Nn3 layout. I am glad that you posted your shots. Did you get any others? All the time that I spent taking photos of the layouts on both Saturday and Sunday did...

    Consignment train?

    The Tropicana white "Orange Juice" reefers make a nice string. Saw a train (n-scale) of 60 behind 4 diesels at the train show a couple weeks ago. This guy runs the train at every show held here in the DC area.

    Do You........

    dcc- getting back into the hobby after a 30 year layoff and having to confront the block and switches thing was more than I was willing to do. I went to a couple of train shows and watched the guys using the digitrax controllers and was hooked. It makes the hobby so much better.

    The wye on the HO layout seemed to have trains running through it all the time. I never saw such a busy module. They ran a lot of trains. The last photo is a scratch built replica of the Fredericksburg Train station (now an Amtrak stop). The mirror on the backdrop of the module shows the...

    Train show - DC part 5 of??? Other than N

    Just to show you that (1) there were other gauges present at the show and (2) that I did not spend ALL of my time at the nscale layout here are some of the other pix The Nn3 modelers were represented by a nice "western" US set of modules. I thought that I had more of them but it looks like I...

    Train show - DC part 4 of???

    Hi Woodie, I am not sure of the rationale for the 3 tracks but I know that the nTraker's purpose is to run trains. They mostly display at shows and I would guess that three tracks gives them a lot of opportunity to run multiple trains. I know at prior shows where the Northern VA ntrak...

    one more set for tonight. The Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Ntrak club was represented by these modules. Well done and the Autumn scene has some humor hidden in the layout. Notice the cars by the driveway. A Caterpillar tractor has run into the car backing out of the driveway. Look near...

    The Kentuckiana Society of N-scalers had a very elaborate yard and scratch-built passenger terminal that I believe represented the Louisville Union Station.

    Train show - DC part 3 of???

    last ones for now. The module in the second phot was done by a nine year old boy from New Mexico. The module in the last photo is unique. Notice how real the water looks. It is actual water being circulated through the two streams by a pump in the rear of the module. :) Back in a...
