Anybody have pics from O Scale WEST???

No big announcements that I know of. Not sure yet where next years show will be or when. The big news of course was the selling of the Lou Cross estate. They priced things right and many items were presold. Lower traffic which may be because of the date switch and Mothers Day weekend. Still great for us as we have never been to this show and met many new people.

I wonder what will be done with Lou's collection that isn't sold at Oscale West?

Thanks!  Looks like Lou had at least one doorstop in his collection - an E-6.

Lou and Gene la Vancil sold me a whole pile of PA castings back in the days.

I was told by Jay that it was his first built engine?

Yeah, his E6 will reside in someone's trophy case soon.  We're still discussing how the remainder will be liquidated.  There's a bunch left.

When people ask about the availability of kits the answer resided at the meet.  Unless you were willing to part with them for about $0.10 on the dollar, you left with what you came with.
