Temple Texas Train Show 9/19/2020

Went down and had a good time at the show and doing some rail fanning. Pics are of the show and the Centra Tex HO and N scale layouts. Thank you to all that made the show happen and put in the work.

Show was small, with only one NTrak layout, a couple TTrak, one well done HO, one Lionel, and a couple smaller Nscale ones.

Vendors were nice, prices were fair, and almost everyone seemed to be happy to be there (although I couldn’t see the smiles behind the masks). Didn’t spend any money even though was tempted to.

Pics are the stuff I found interesting, but hope you enjoy the pics.

Dang, ton of pics!  Thanks for sharing.   Looks like a good day.  I don't think there were that many trains at OKC last year.

In the past I attended this show.  This year I just could not do it.  I  have been avoiding all crowds.

Also went to the show today got there at 9:30 and a line was forming, per operators 40 less tables that normal, but had great vendors, spent way too much money but had a great time. Needed to get out of the house, and go to a train show, it was fantastic, thank you Centra-Mod club for hosting. The northbound Texas Eagle was running 2 1/2 hours late?? so we got to go to the show then ate lunch and still got to see Amtrak at the Temple depot. Also someone from Centra-Mod was down at the Moody Depot and was running trains, so we got to see the layouts inside, great because i have not been inside for a while. Trip up and back from Houston saw 12 trains, from start to finish it was a GREAT 14 1/2 hour TRAIN DAY!!!! WooHoo!!!! :D

I’m jealous, haven’t been to a train show since late last Winter, really miss them.

Thanks for the pics, I like the grain elevators.
I’m not here to argue

Ron, thanks for sharing your excellent photos!  I miss the Fall train shows, with fewer venues and now Covid.  Since I am high risk (age plus intermittent asthma), I will also miss the Janurary 2021 Plano TX show.  Looking forward to the return of normal times.

Odd, but again, the link takes me to my Google photos...
Glad you enjoyed the show, it would be nice to do those things again...
