    Come out this weekend if your in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. We will have three Model Train displays, a HO Scale Freemo Layout, a N-trak layout, and a G-Scale Live steam layout. :tb-biggrin:Also we will have a 1:1 historical train on display behind the depot from the Niles Canyon Railway. Hope to see you there.

    I wish the Z Convention in Medford was another weekend, but it's not, so i'll miss the grand opening. This weekend has all kinds of great activities. Brea Railroad Days is this weekend too!

    Well, last night I got whacked with an extreme cold. If I get any better, I'll still make an attempt to show up, but right now there's no way I'll be able to make it. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    A great looking restored depot, and nice room for layouts! Great job, Nick!

    I loved that AC12 pulling the old coaches.

    Thanks Rick,

    Unfortunately I'd didn't get a pick of the AC-12 pulling my Harrimans :tb-hissyfit: Maybe tomorrow. I wasn't able to photo much as I was having to run back and forth to both buildings. I guess that's what happens when your on the staff for an event...lol.

    Rick it was nice to see you again, & DCESharkman thank you for driving all the way out to show some support. I'll try to get pics tomorrow.

    And there I was, with my camera, but was having such a great time watching and kibitzing, I never took a picture indoors, either!

    Dave (DCESharkman) - this is the third time that I know we've been at the same event at the same time, and I still haven't met you. I think we should all wear TrainBoard tags, or something, so when we see someone else with one, we can introduce ourselves.
