Rich Yoder must have been announcing some exciting project since every time I stopped by his table, there were too many hobbyists around, to get some good photos. Here is the only photo I got.

These are just my opinion,

Thanks,

Naveen Rajan

Rich does have an exciting new project going on, the Mather single sheathed box car.

He's also a popular guy because he's been doing brass imports for many years and has got one of the most comprehensive steam era truck lines on the market in both standard O and Proto 48.    Between Rich's line and Norm's Protocraft trucks there are a pretty good selection of steam era brass trucks though that era had many different variations of truck designs. 

As modern era modelers grow so will the number of builders of modern trucks willing to commit money and effort to produce them.

thanks for the pics, everyone.

I just wanted to thank all of you for this thread....  I have enjoyed the reports and pictures!!

I have also thank you! 

Yes, thank you very much Naveen for taking the time to take and post all these pictures. 

All in all it was another great March Meet.   The best part is not the content but the people.  Meeting lots of old friends and making new ones.

And a BIG shout out to the Hill family (and of course the other folks at the top) who make the meet happen.   

No matter what one's praises or complaints are for our little segment of the hobby the March Meet as well as the other large meets (like OSW) and the smaller regional shows DEFINITELY prove that our hobby isn't  all grey hairs but a lot of enthusiastic folks of all ages. 

Oh and last but not least thanks to all of the scribes who are adding good info and pix to this thread.

Thank you Naveen for posting all those photos.  I shall make it to the show one day!

Yup!  Got another new shiny thing to play with on Sat.

Wiseman Model Services - he sells on ebay with username Wisemodserv.  Obviously he does shows.  Not sure what other venues he sells at.
