NTS Salt Lake Report

[Point353]

MTL just had a small display - some of their July releases and the DODX flat with the Humvees.

Single-window Humvee, but no single-window coach?

Great to meet you too James! Glad you introduced yourself as it’s tough to pick anyone out of the crowd when we’ve only chatted online in the forums. See you tomorrow.

The heavy surf in this photo is terrific; looks like a storm might be brewing off shore...

Mark in (on the) Oregon (coast).

It's been busy for our club with running trains so I haven't had much time to wonder and take photos. In fact I haven't taken any photos which is a shame because there are some cool things.
There is a huge n scale presence here. We have our local club with a decent size layout. The freemo N guys are out in full force with the largest at the show and T-trak has a couple groups running together. There is probably just as much n scale as HO.
I think one of the most impressive things has been the 2 z scale layouts. Hopefully someone posts pictures soon as I won't be there today.

Not sure if this was announced in Chicago or not, but Walthers has some new houses coming later this year that are cool:

Very "stoked" about these!

Yes, I fell asleep while writing that up last night and hit post when I woke up this morning. Brain hadn't kicked in quite yet that there might be a thread started by someone else.

I had a good chat to the Rep and he was on message about their commitment to the Structures line and releases will piggyback the successful HO ones.

Interesting.  These looks quite similar to the structure kits Atlas released several years ago.

Thanks for the report!

Speaking with the Walther's rep, the Bungalow house will have enough parts inside the box to build the house to 6 different configurations. The porch can be built as the drawing shows, or closed in, the dormers have different styles.

Also the warehouse is designed with the kitbasher in mind, with the inside walls scored and available to use multiple kits to expand the size.

Nice!

But different enough to really compliment them. Imagine a Craftsman neighborhood with different style houses.

The Walther's rep also mentioned that the split level house should be coming to N also. The compression they did for HO cut the garage down from a two car to a single, however in N, we may get the two car.
