Popped in on Saturday enroute to Bayfest in Somers Point. Said hello to Chris and Cody. I can see this event taking shape and in a few years it will be comparable to the Bedford show. Thing is to find the right weekend in the spring.

I could only carry so many things with me on the train on Saturday, and my phone's memory is full now, so I only have a few pictures of the C&A table, and a couple trains I found time to run.






And then there is this photo of some strange bloke taking the closing inventory for the day on Saturday.

Certainly was an awesome weekend from the perspectives of both a participant and a business.

Much thanks and appreciation to our New Jersey hosts! We had a great time, it was a very nice little show and there's a great foundation for a terrific Nscale weekend, New Jersey style! Eric, John K., Cody, Bob the Fantastic Water Guy, Shawn the Conductor, Bill the Mad Candy Thief, Stan Two Clubs, the T-Track clubs. Everyone was terrific and if you weren't there, shame on ya! We're looking forward to helping grow this show. Good job to the organizers and good fun for all!

Didn't sell all of it, but the totals from this weekend have provided a solid foundation for a strong start.
Sold a few packaged items, but the bulk of the sales were from the pick-and-pull seconds bins.

I also can't thank Ken and Joan of KenRay Models enough for their wisdom and support.

As I said over the weekend, "This isn't a John Wayne movie, this town is big enough for all of us."

I could not make it on Sunday, but my experiences from Saturday have me optimistic for next year's show. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us as well as for putting up with my constant "bumps" over the past few months. I would especially like to thank my fellow show coordinators and all of the vendors and exhibitors for putting in a good show. Please, if you were able to attend, spread the word to your friends and club members about our event so that we can make it even bigger and better next year.

The video coverage of the Second Annual Atlantic City N Scale Gathering is now available. There are two videos that cover the events held at our event; the first video follows the New Jersey Southern N-Trak club "Sand Train" around the five layouts of the event, and the second is a general overview of the trains run by various show participants. A big "thank you" goes out to all who attended, ran trains, and made this show a great event. If you ran a train at the event, look for it in the videos! I hope to announce the dates for the Third Annual Atlantic City N Scale Gathering as soon as I get the information.

Video 1: NJS Sand Train "World Tour"


Video 2: Individual Trains


A big "thank you" to the NJS club cinematographer for his excelellent work as always.

Thank you for attending as well as providing a personal photograph from the event. Would you mind telling us how the show was, in your opinion? Also, we hope you can attend next year's event.
