Portland in August

[Puddington]

While I will still be hooked up to a dialysis machine in August Jason Shron and Bill Schneider from Rapido will be there - we will be making a couple of announcements at Portland including a new N scale passenger car (well; kinda two new passenger cars... technically.... sort of...) and a new truck... not a road truck, a rail truck... um.. ah.. you know, the kind that goes under a rail car.... We hope to have more decorated samples of the FL9 and reefer there as well, plus a "surprise" in N scale... well it won;t be a surprise then because we're announcing it before Portland but it's a surprise now.... oh forget it.....

Sorry; haven't had coffee yet!

~Bruce:  May I ask why you dislike Oregon, or would the answer violate forum rules?

I will definitely be there.   Heck, it's right in my back yard!
I also attended the 1994 convention here in Portland.   I never imagined back then that I would one day be living here.
Funny world.

My plan is to go in most days, and catch some clinics and one layout tour I booked, and to definitely
go to the big open train show/swap meet at the end of the week.  I really do hope that somehow
we Railwirians (? is that a word)  can organize to spend some time meeting face to face and socializing.

I've been looking forward to this one for a couple of years.

Obviously, it's all because he can't refuel his own vehicle there.

That's my hope too, Max.

Your fellow "Railwirian",

Hello. The North Bank Road will be on the tour for that Monday. I just returned from a great convention in Sacramento. The Portland area is home to many awesome layouts. I look forward to sharing the progress I have made here and seeing everyone from the forum.

See you in Portland, Rick

Mike:  Then I assume he won't go to New Jersey either? 

[C855B]

Quite likely!

Hooray... I am officially multicultural: I grew up in New Jersey and now live in Oregon!

So, here is the $50 questions, How often are you being dialysized? and are you using one of the private clinics for your dialysis? you might be able to find a dialysis center local to the area, and still be able to attend...
