Thanks Charlie, as always you do such a fine job posting the shows or meets. I'll send you the pic's from Norm's layout from last week as soon as DTE stores power.  The transformer blew this A.M. as I was leaving for the show. And a thanks go out to Kim,  for his help in making a l-o-n-g military train. The kids watching counted 33 flats. It was fun.

Hey Charlie, I somehow missed hearing about that show - but I wouldn't have made it anyway with the 16" of heavy wet snow that fell here Friday night.  Our power went out at 10 PM Friday and was just restored this afternoon.  The news says there are still 35,000 customers without power up here, and it'll be Wednesday before it's all back. 

 

Anyway, looks like the layout is growing.  I like that Hudson's department store with the US flag - brings back memories.

It was definitely a heavy train.  My GG1 was real warm when I pulled it off the layout.  Sure looked great though

I think he should leave the C&O units as is 

 

Yes, they were nice.  I had fun playing with the powered unit in the yard area while demonstrating the transfer table (along with my SD80MAC).  I think his plan is to leave them as C&O, but I'm not completely sure.

 

I tweaked the smoke unit a bit for him towards the end of the show and it was working pretty well when I left.

I know I was running the G on the inner track, O-60.  I can't remember if I ran it on the outer track or not, but it still does have quite a bit overhang.  I don't know if the inside curves (leading up to the bridge) are the same diameters as the regular corners.

 

O-84 is the outside curve, O-60 is the inner curve.

Yes, it was.  I probably saw you and didn't even realize it

 

My scheduled track time wasn't until 1:00, but somebody wanted to see the G run.  The guy scheduled to run his train was setting up and wasn't ready yet, so I switched my train out on to the mainline and ran it until he was ready.  That was out on the O-84 track and I almost crashed into the nonscale one on the bridge, glad I noticed it before mine got there

 

That would have been an expensive wreck if either had hit the floor.
