Thanks for the down low, Daniel.  There's some amazing stuff happening in our scale.  Also looking forward to the low riders from MT.

There is an MR webpage with the usual huge list of HO products plus secondary coverage for other scales.  Almost everything I see on the page is stuff I already knew about courtesy of previous announcements and Daniel's coverage here- the one bit of news for some in N scale might be a new product from N scale Architect for doing walls for mill buildings that looks kind of interesting (but doesn't appear to be up on their website yet).

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Here are some layout/model pictures I took. They're all HO.

I thought this swamp was excellent


Gas station on the same layout as the swamp


Part of the HO Fre-mo layout was these two modules of an Afghan railway.

That last FreeMo Layout is part of the Capitol City FreeMo HO group from around DC.  The guy that built it is some sort of defense contractor who did it while in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Yes, this clearly appears to be ink-jet-decorated at the MTL factory. Beautiful murals!  And you are the lucky stiff that will test drive it.  :)  I love the long hood. Very slick.  I can't quite figure out if it is a Caddy, or a Lincoln.  :|  On second look I think it might be Lincoln-based.

Rumor is that Mattel will produce it as a Hot Wheels limited edition available exclusively from ESM.

This is me in 1997 the day before I sold it. The new owner wanted me to replace a brake line and this is the test ride afterwards. The next day the new owner put a battery charger on top of the 8 batteries in the trunk and then shut the trunk on it. Shorted out the batteries and burned the car down  :|

Some photos I took while wondering around the areas.  Some really nice stuff being done out there.

The N-Trak modules were unusually strong this year.
