    George and Deb, your more than welcome. For those who wonder why Wig-Wag needs so much help in setting up and taking down, I submit the following......

    This is better stocked and organized than a lot of hobby shops I have visited. You know George, IL would be a good distribution point. Champaign is cheap to live in:teeth:

    Somewhere down there in that yard there is a Cleveland Indians ball cap that blew off my son's head when we were on that bridge a few weeks ago. Right after this picture was taken.

    Semi truck came flying by and zoooom no more hat. Had fun there. Wish we could have done it during the festival.

    Here is the hump yard, the yard tour bus takes you up real close.

    Tina thought this was a cool car (no pun intended) I'll probably end up painting one in N scale.

    The new scheme is finding its way into Galesburg more and more.

    Overall the show was good, but attendance was low, something I'll discuss on my blog. The weather was not all that great either, so I did not get as many pictures as I wanted. Tina and I plan on coming back in July to do some railfanning at Cameron and downtown. Hopefully we'll get some more pictures. If you missed Galesburg, be sure to check it out next year, visit my blog for more information.

    Hump yards are really interesting to watch in action.

    And it all fits into the back of an F-250xc plus a 6'x12' trailer.

    I can vouch for the same--it all has to be packed just so, or it won't all fit. Amazing how George does it!

    This one is.
    Their names are Smith, Ruger, Colt & Wesson.
    We also have a pair of vipers to keep them company.

    No Remington, Winchester or Mossberg? Those must be the next additions to the kennel... :)

    As for newest products, I hope Athearn doesn't announce a UP FEF-3 in N scale for about a year.. My budget is shot! :p;)

    What we couldn't fit in the truck & trailer (las year) went in Jim's jeep. This year it was just Deb & I at final load out so we had to fit it all in.
