I will be going to the Lynden Train show with my friend Paul to see what's new and to then follow the GN main line south from the border to Burlington. We never know what we will see.
You will have to forgive me for using the pre-1970 name for the railroad tracks. I'm stuck in 1969.
The best part is that I will pick up my custom painted NP SD45s from Kendall. I gave him a pair of those hideously ugly SPSF Kato SD45s to repaint to the beautiful NP gold and black scheme. I bought those for really cheap because they had silver trucks... less work stripping them.
If you're going, chime in here, and if you are an NP fan, I will do my best to let you admire a pair of Northern Pacific SD45s at Kendall's Blue Caboose booth as long as I can.
