Pictures from 2022 7th Annual Atlantic City N-Scale Gathering

[MK]

Pictures are up! Here is the requisite group photo.

For the T-Trak layout (bottom of photo) I was told it was the largest T-Trak layout ever in NJ with something like 160+ single module equivalents.

On behalf of the N Scale Gathering team, I sincerely want to thank everyone who came out to this event. This was a great Gathering! Thanks @MK for the great pictures, and thanks to @Ed Kapuscinski @narrowminded @rickb773 among others for coming down and seeing what we were all about!
Here is the video I shot from the Gathering, it is of trains on every layout. I wanted to try and film every train that ran, in which I failed miserably, but did get a good group of trains. The clips are not in any particular order, every layout is included multiple times throughout the video. If you were there, look for your train in the video!

Glad to see everyon'e faces. hoping to get more "together" for Altoona, I got stuck coming back from a trip quarter of the way across the country last week and wasn't really in it despite being there.

Agreed!

Altoona is going to be THE big one this year.  With a two year hiatus like Atlantic City AND at a new and seemingly much better location (Blair County Convention Center), this is going to be the primo event on the East Coast (the weather killed Amherst).

@EL3632  it's always great to see you at any train show.  It's not the same if you and your video camera weren't there.    Since we didn't have this show for two years I couldn't decide what was more important, talking to people that I haven't seen in a while or running trains.  In the end, people won and that's what this hobby is about!

I will get a bigger (as in number of people) picture at Altoona!

I prioritized the show, the 4H door prizes, selling stuff, and people, which I felt were more important than running trains. I had fun and eNjoyed the event very much. I ran trains at the Spring Creek Free-moN event in Nebraska last week, and had a lot of fun, here's another video of that event (much longer):

Well, a little surprise came in the mail today. From Micro-Trains nevertheless.

I submitted my group photo of the Gathering to them for a contest and I was selected as a Runner-Up. So what's the prize? They took my photo, shrunk it down and printed it on a 50th Micro-Trains Anniversary 60' box car!!!! How--cool--is--that????

Here's the car:

Here's the zoomed in image of the picture on the car:

For those of you who attended and don't remember where you were standing and due to the various iterations of the original file to get it on the box car, here's the original for frame of reference.   Now all you  will always be on my layout!!!!

Most definitely Kenny and I'll set it up on a train so you can catch it on your video.
