I had a wonderful time even if constrained as to time due to a social commitment my wife made for us. It was a bit smaller than last time as it often is in summer, a few less tables than last time, but still great stuff and lots of fun.  Nonetheless I met half a dozen or more forum members and it was good just to talk and put a face to a forum name. 

 

Sometimes it takes just one item to make your day.  I found this lovely NIB K-line Kennecott Copper Company Plymouth switcher and six-car set for a good price.  When I was eight years old we lived only a few miles north of the Kennecott's Bingham Canyon open pit mine and we used to drive out just to watch the big excavators and the huge Le Tourneau dump trucks.  It is wonderful running this cute little train on my BEEPworld loop.
