Pictures from Amherst or Springfield or Big E show

[MK]

NOTE: title of thread is for Peteski's edification only.   

I was not as proliferant in taking pictures this time as I was in the past.  Certianly I skipped the vendor/manufacturer pics but I see that Daniel has already done a great job with that.  These pictures are mostly layout pictures.  A mix of as many N as I can find and HO.

A little self bragging, yours truly did take in First Place for Prototype Photography at Winterfest which came with a $50 gift certificate from N-Scale Architect.  Thank you N-Scale Architect and all the vendors that provided prizes.

It was a great show and Saturday brought in 11,000 visitors.  Looking forward to next year's show.

EDIT: total attendance was 21,000.

Nice collection of photos.

Wow did I miss some stuff.

Ah, the ARS (arse) show.  Congrats Mike on the photo contest win - well deserved!

Thanks Peteski and I got my Kato wheel sets!  I wished we had more time to sit and chat but alas it was a busy show!  And I know you volunteered a lot of your time to help Winterfest.  Did you go to the banquet?  I know you were helping with the car give aways.

It was nice chatting with you Mike, even if if it was too brief.  Yes, I attended the banquet - I was sitting up front with the important people.   As you mentioned, I was busy with Winterfest tasks on Friday and most of Saturday. But I was able to take the show in on Sunday.

I'm glad you found those Kato wheelsets. I usually buy them from MBK, because they discount the price. I usually add several packages to another order I'm placing with MBK.

I thought the guys up front were justy trying to brown nose the organizers?   

Thanks for the link.  I had already bookmarked it back then when I first brought up the topic.  MBK and just about everyone is out of them.  I don't know why as Kato shows they are available.  But since it was "free shipping" at Amherst, I just paid the MSRP of $8.

Can anyone spot the "Honorary Resident Curmudgeon"?

Nice job on the pictures from the Amherst or Springfield or Big E show MK. Lots of great modelling there.

If you're delegated with that responsibility next year, get a flip-fold: https://www.flipfold.com/Default.asp

In tonight’s episode of the Honorary Resident Curmudgeon, our hero attempts to blend into Earth society by assuming the guise of a mild-mannered member of the local N scale modular model railroad club. However, this plan hits a snag when it becomes apparent, much to his dismay, that fellow club members have chosen to wear their dress uniforms to dinner.

LOL!  Looks like Peteski didn't get the memo.  But to be honest he was everywhere at Winterfest helping out behind the scenes.

Thank you Peteski!

LOL!  Denim NE-NTRAK shirts are not official attire by any means. Besides I'm a jeans & T-shirt kind of a guy. 

Yeah Mike, my duties kept me busy that weekend.
