I only knew him through my interaction and shoulder rubbing via this website. I miss him and his input. But... I don't think he'd want us dwelling on it and would want us to honor him, by keeping active in the hobby. How about a trip to the Oklahoma 35th Train Show? [video=youtube;cEpdbrzVfGg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEpdbrzVfGg[/video] 35th Annual Oklahoma City Model Train Show 12/3/2011 Bryan's Rail Channel Published on Dec 7, 2011 THIS VIDEO IS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF JAMES B. TRACHIER, COPYRIGHT © 2011. This is a special half-hour video feature I put together of model trains at the 35th annual Oklahoma City Train Show, set to a cool music soundtrack (with the large crowd of people present, the trains were hard to hear in the original video footage, largely getting drowned out by crowds of people chattering in the background anyway, so I chose music instead). The OKC Train Show is an annual event sponsored by the Oklahoma Railway Museum that takes place on the first weekend in December at the Oklahoma State Fair Grounds. It is one of the largest train shows in the southwestern United States. All music used in this video is used with permission under Creative Commons licenses (see below for more info). This is my first video upload to exceed 15 minutes in length, thanks to now having unlimited video upload time enabled on my account. What I miss most about the midwest is the train shows we used to have in Dayton, Ohio. I did a short stint there and absolutely enjoyed the place, people and fellow model railroaders.
Our good friend Toy Man Television, takes us for yet another visit to: [video=youtube;ruDOCOLPVuQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruDOCOLPVuQ[/video] "O" scale model railroad hotel with full detail and full interior. Toy Man Television Published on Aug 31, 2014 Steve Strebel and Al Badham have built a great "O" scale model hotel with super detail and full interior for Steve's model railroad called the Rio Grand and Pacific. Steve and Al love to build miniature furniture and buildings and creating complete cities. Looking something like doll houses, these buildings are much smaller than the usual 1/12 scale dollhouses yet have the same level of fun details.
