Had a great time at the show yesterday.
Seemed to be bigger than ever and lots of people attended.
I did find a couple of things I couldn't live without.
Was good to see Greg and Mike and Tim.
Always look forward to seeing the layout Greg and your new Y looks like a success!
Roger and I did some railfanning in Everett's Delta yard on the way home.
It was a great day.

The Show was great! Saturday I ran all European stuff, Although my ICE3 wouldn't go over about 30 smph, so that was irritating. Sunday I stuck with American stuff, running the climax in the morning, the T12-66 mid day, and ended the day with my IM F7 AB set.

Saturday, I got a smoking deal on a new German steamer, and German Diesel center cab. Then sunday I had no plans to spend any more money, but I found a deal on a atlas/Micro ace 2-6-0, and some freight. I spent way too much money, but it was worth it.

I'm looking forward to the next show (that I can make it to) and next year!

Here's a few random pictures, I must admit, I'm not much of a photographer. There's only so much a good camera can make up for, but these came out OK.

Mike's Climax hauling a load of DKS crawlers up to the logging camp. I should have tried to catch it at Dennis' log landing, Mike.


Another one on Bob Lemond's Module. Looks good in it's Natural environment.  :ashat:


3985 and a UP freight meet.


Caught the climax on the high line at the Ballard Why. Note the WMOFC at Ballard Team Track. Must be on it's way back from being repaired
after the wreck at Enola.


A WWII troop train was loading at Camp Deception.


Another shot of Mark Cacciola's 18ft of Camp Deception. No amount of photos can fully capture the work he's done on
the military models.


Mark C also found time to do a N-Scale Kits Super Heavy-Duty flat car. The transformer load is scratchbuilt.


Before the crowds on Sunday AM, I got a shot of the New Ballard Why in the layout. I managed to get a base coat of ground foam on the
West Why before the show.


Again, this was a great show. there was 4 large N-Scale layouts, a Z scale, On30, countless HO, O, and G, not to mention the Live steamer running back and forth outside.
 The UNW guys did a good job organizing and everything runs smoothly for the layouts and vendors.
If any one has the chance, they should plan on attending this show in the PNW. (shameless plug)
