Way to jinx the Gaylord HVAC system, Mike!   I was planning to go on Saturday, but now I'm not so sure...   

I'm looking forward to the show.   I'm going out there today to help with the Free-MoN setup but otherwise I'm not participating in the convention.

I'm in  Fort Worth (Saginaw) so I want to go to the train show over the weekend.

If any SPF's want to work out a schedule to "educate" the BLI guys in attendance about how they need to make certain steam locos then let me know.

Can't make the show but my big desires are PRR I1 and  PRR H8, H9 and H10 classes.

The opening reception was very nice. Well done NMRA.  I am lucky that I have been to Scotland enough to understand most of Gordy's opening remarks with his natural Scottish Brogue.   Actually, it was much easier to understand than all the caddies I have had in Scotland, who tend to get gruffer and harder to understand as they understand that I really ain't much of a golfer.  They maintain that until they realize it doesn't affect their tip.......

I am likewise planning to attend the train show. I am looking forward to this the first NMRA national event in town since the mid eighties!

The convention was great.. The NTS seemed smaller than others I have been to.
