They had the annual show this year, at the fairgrounds now, which was a much more open atmosphere! Quite a few operating layouts, of which a few will be in the videos below. There was a very nice Z-scale one, several N and HO layouts as well. Overall it was a lot of fun and even somewhat educational. Had a question asked about the GN's first steam loco, the W.

I wish that MILW SDL was going a bit slower. Hard to get a good look at it, zooming past. Interesting how when those SD70 units were accelerating they sounded a lot like GE's.
It was a great time! I spent a lot of time at my tables, and kinda 'ran' for the other video's, as you could see! There was some impressive modeling there!
