You'd think they want the sound to get out.

How are the rubber cows supposed to get out?

Lunde has a new bus terminal kit.  A built and painted hotel also was on display.

That hotel looks like the one Bachmann released I HO years ago.

Congratulations Bryan Bussey for a first place win in the caboose category!

>Nevertheless I have no N scale stock cars for my PRR layout

We need to convince someone to do a K9 or K11 via 3D printing.  I managed to convert a MT into a K9, but I won't try that again.

The Lunde hotel has been out for a while- I picked one up just before I moved- will be part of the "downtown" of my to-be-started-any-day-now layout.  I really like that building- should easily pass as a Chicago hotel or apartment building.

Walthers finally is offering new structures in N.  They also had the Tomytec bus running on an oval.

Thank you Bryan! It was great to meet you!

I'll have to try to get one of the early Dairy Queens.  They were fairly common in the Northwest, even though I don't have a place for one.

Congrats to BOTH Bryan and Adam for their FIRST place finishes in the model contest!!!!!!! Gordon

The model is a mess anyway, not having open slates is just unbelievable.

Agreed, I really tried to like this car (without the moo sounds) but it seems like a total throwback...
Wait, has anyone ever made a solid stock car, ever?
I just find it incomprehensible....

  Congrats to Adam and Bryan for their hard work and getting rewarded with first place honors.

Well deserved congratulations for Adam and Bryan.

Hopefully, one of these years, I'll get there to see some of this in person.

VERY nice to see some new structures coming in N. I have no need for the bus terminal but it looks really nice. The new Walther's structures will be welcome. We could really uses an industry or two.

It would be cool if the older DQ model lit up, including the sign.

A thought concerning the BLI stock cars:   If I understood correctly all their car bodies are ABS, and they seem to be rather "solid" (trying to avoid the term "thick"...).  Just remember the brakewheels.  So even if the stock cars would have been see-through it might have looked strange as well.  Some etched sides would have been more realistic, but probably not so easy to manufacture.

I have a 4-set on order, so I will see what comes out.
