I had to check to make sure I hadn't written it as "4 Z-scale tables". They would be awfully small tables. The tables are 2 1/2' x 6' for a total space of 2 1/2' x 24'. David
The show has completely sold out. We have had to put a former Simpson Timber Co speeder (I would call it a rail bus because of its size) outside to make room for layouts and sellers. A couple of changes to note. The LEGO group and the N scale switching layout had to cancel. In their place we substituted a Swiss Bemo HO meter gauge layout and squeezed a few more sellers' tables in for sellers on our standby list. I was just informed that another layout is planning to come. Where we will put it I have no idea. Hope to see you at the show and down at the Lewis County Historical Museum. David
