N-SCALE WEEKEND/Bedford Aug 21, 22 & 23, 2015

[160pennsy]

It was good to see you Paul!
And hey, I can see myself in both of those photos! 

Hello Cody (VonRyan),

Good meeting you as well. While at the New Jersey Southern N-TRAK layout table you mentioned that Irish Nn3 layout (trackwork & foam by Chris333)...any new progress to report?
Forgot to ask if you brought any of your Camden & Amboy resin models to the show or the layout? Wanted to inspect or photograph them them up close and personal.

Man. We need a way to mark ourselves as asshats. I had no idea so many of us were there! I haven't met a lot of you folks yet.

A The Railwire tee or button down short slaved shirt , ( good enough for eating out with your main squeeze ) , in NYC/PC boxcar turquoise green with black lettering . The turquoise is a salute to the original eastern roots of The Railwire and a color and that stands out in the crowd . The lettering should be black and of managements choosing . No mention of any road should be printed in the Tee or button down short sleeve shirt as bought , purchasers can add there own road of choice or not . Hats could be black with turquoise TRW , The Railwire  , or whatever management chooses . The opposite color scheme will make you look desirable to the groupie babes that sworn the  shows . My advise is no mention of a$$hat should be printed as that is an insider understood comment . The Railwire could sell these via a link and make money for operating costs .

I'll take ten.

Paul,

Yes, I was the one that sold you those.  Hope they run well for you.

I almost pulled the trigger on getting the brass K4 that was at Tex-N-Rails.  Glad I didn't.   I did find one of the Con-Cor Galloping Goose models for a good price so I got it instead.  Now I need to find some Rio Grande Southern decals.

Hello and thank you all for your support. What a nice group of folks. The show was great and the dinner was fun afterwards.

I was able to get in a little foaming in the area as well:








Some nice industries too:












It was nice to be in Pensy country as well. There were some fine models running:











See you next year!

Josh's Queen Mary flat car...


A well - rendered rural scene...  If that's not a scratch build, it's a really nice kit.


One of the more reliably entertaining N trak modules...


After the show, we headed 45 minutes south to Cumberpatch to catch 734 before she gets laid up for an undetermined amount of time for her FRA required rehab...


which seemed to work out just fine...


And even though Halloween is just around the corner, we were surprised to see these pumpkins...


and we got a little insight into why Paul Hutter's photos are so shi**y!

Our night time entertainment included plenty of adult videos...


And while it's true that I made breakfast for Josh, I save this buffet for Ed and Ben on Sunday.


They worked hard to earn that kind of menu.  I hope they remembered to take down the trapeze.

I met Ed K and Lee, and picked up some freight cars from that guy in the back  maybe that was you as well Scott ? .  Could have done more damage had I not told myself no purchasing of locomotives, had lots of CSX motive power on the table, and from what I saw showing another customer, boxed up under the table

Other than finally solving the small-bridge problem and installing the subsequent solution, there's nothing much to report.

And I did technically bring some C&A stuff with me, but it was in the form of two door-prizes that myself and the "company draftsman" packaged.
Plus, all that is left is factory "seconds" that aren't exactly top notch. Anything reasonably good has been sold off already to help amass start-up funds.

But one of these days whenever I'll see you next I'll bring the company-history box along so you can take a look at the good stuff.

I'd buy shirts. I always can use more shirts. Although I'm partial to polo shirts.

Wasn't me along the back wall.  He was from Michigan, not sure of his name.  I was in front him with the blue table cloth and lots of PRR and CP stuff.   I bought a Chessie B30 and coil car from him.

Wish I had known the Queen Mary was there.  I would have made a special trip over.

Ah, I was the guy who asked about your 90 ton hoppers if you had any NS among all those PRR hoppers

[tom mann]

Where did that MILW hopper photo come from, @w neal ?

[Ed Kapuscinski]

I say tattoos. asshats for life.

I'm glad for the new venue. It was way too stuffy in there to be enjoyable.

I'm concerned about doing it earlier, it'll conflict with vacation if it keeps moving.

[w neal]

A quick look around Cumberland before Sunday's opening:








Nice to see these:








And an old patched friend:









Now, can anyone out there help me find some of these? Ta!

Don't worry. NSA has already identified all those individuals in those photos with A$$hat tendencies.
