NSE 2024

[Lackawannae8]

Fun week I Bethlehem for my first ever NSC had a blast.
Wish they would do it annually on the east coast somehow.
Going to share some of my customs I ran on N trak and FreemoN.
Also got to drag around the Around the Layout Podcast High cube touring box car and the crew had a delivery and lunch at the Kitty club.

Not yet. You need 20 (...I think...) posts before you can do that. Blame spammers.

NSE annual meets rotate west-middle-east to give everyone a chance. Manufacturers, etc., don't have the resources to support annual meets for all three regions.

Yes, the NSE (ex. NSC) conventions are lots of fun.

It's actually 25 posts you need and you're technically more than half way there. Just reply to things you like, it doesn't need to be substantive, and you could be there by the end of the day.

Lol the bar keeps getting set higher

The convention team worked hard, and the hotel was a challenge, but at the end of Saturday the job was done. We submit all of our floorplans almost a year in advance, and at the worst possible moment they told us we had to move the Freemo layout. Apologies and extreme thanks to the Freemo crew for their herculean efforts to move to a new room that was off the beaten path, which limited their foot traffic. As it turns out, the hotel never ran our plan past the local fire marshall and thus didn't give us an opportunity to change it for the better. Again, Apoligies and Big Thanks to the freemo folks. It was beautiful layout and extremely photogenic.

George it was great to meet you and again thank you for everything you guys do and in behalf of the Local N trak club I belong to we thank you guys for hosting in our backyard.. I was extremely impressed how everything was professionally handled.
I think the freemoN being moved to a private room was a blessing for us cause we had the opportunity to stay late and run all night after the show closed. Luckily I have a few buddies that ive gratefully networked with and allowed me to be there. Hopefully I can swing the next one in KC

Kansas City. We ill be publishing a lot of info over the next few months. There is already a coordinator for the inside layouts and a different coordinator for the layout tours, as well as an operations group underway. Manufacturer commitment for the show is high, so it should be a good one.

I went to my first one in 2004 in Chantilly VA, then hit them as they were close to home.  This one was in my backyard, I had a blast

Well, get happy because now you can post photos.

And in less than a day you can now post photos. It wasn't *THAT* difficult.  Many online forums have similar restrictions to weed out any bad actors or bots creating accounts to post SPAM on the forums.

I recommend using the forums Gallery to upload photos.   Instructions are in the Admin/FAQ section.
