Went to Ed's open house today, it was nice to see this layout in real life, it gives a whole different perspective to the layout you see in pictures.

I brought my video camera with me and decided to film the train running around the layout. I am glad I did, Windsor Street gave lots of good photo ops!


eNjoy!

It was wonderful seeing you and all the other legendary modelers that came by today, DKS. The Garden State was well represented.

Likewise, it was a terrific afternoon. I couldn't believe all of the guys who showed up. Ed, what was the final head count?

Best exchange of the day came after Ed spent a good 20 minutes trying to solve a major DCC problem that locked up all of the throttles.

Ed to Eric: "You should have [control of the Amtrack train] now."

Eric: "Bullsh!t."

We'd talked about it briefly, but with so many visitors, things got very chaotic, and some had left early anyway.

Besides - if we had done a TRW family photo we’d have had to exclude His Most Excellent Royal Highoersonish Rick Spano and we can’t do that. I can however now cross “Talk Trains with Rick Spano” off my bucket list.

Having op'd Ed's layout with half a dozen asshats and realizing just how crowded that basement can get, I can only imagine the logistics of having 30 people down there.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

It really was an amazing day. I'm so glad you all had a good time.

One of the chief aims of the new house is to have a BIGGER space for the gang so it's NOT quite so tight in the layout room (TWSS??).

I barely took any photos, but here's one of a Railwire meme happening in real life: @wm3798 fighting with Digitrax.

And lastly, just to prove I wasn't bullshitting about having to kick everyone out to get to the symphony.

More like Digitrax by Hal 9000.  I'm sorry Lee.  I can't let you do that.
