I am really feeling the loss of not being able to attend. This was great last year and sounds like its growing. We had great weather last year., at least one day. I hope it proves true, this year. I someone can make this event and doesn’t, its their loss. This is becoming the start of the Spring Garden Railroad Tours in the East. I saw the expansion and improvements while we were at Ken’s for the ECLSTS and they are great!

If nothing else, they’ll be a whole lot more room in the driveway…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

But, you and Jan will be missed.

Friday is a run what ya brung day.

Reminds me of something my grandpa used to say. To paraphrase that:

“Dance with the girl loco who brung ya.”

Great to meet you Ken at the D&B. I’ll be there some year.

Ken_Brunt · March 29, 2019, 9:57pm

Thanks Cliff. If it weren’t for the ECLSTS, I probably wouldn’t know anybody.

It was great meeting you, too.

It’s lie Cliff…he allows everyone to “run what ya’ brung” even on Saturday as well except me!

Noelle and I are definitely planning to be there again this year. Ken’s Railroad is very good and the ops are great fun.

We’ll miss Ric & Jan for sure - hope they’ll come up to Ottawa for the Invasion in July.

We look forward to fooling around with everyone else though. I always love to renew the great friendships I’ve made among the LSC crowd.

I don’t understand what Steve’s problem is, he only lives 2,594 miles away. I asked Google Maps - It’s a 37 hour drive for Steve.

FYI Ken’s is 8-9 hours from where we live in Toronto. For us it’s a pleasant drive through the woods and across the mountains of PA. See ya!

Only 37 hours? I can do that standing on my head. Hard to drive that way, though. Maybe next year. (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

Hopefully Ken can keep the local transients in check this year !

3 weeks to go.

Finally got around to making my hotel reservation. We upgraded a bit and are staying a little closer at the Clarion in Glen Mills. Was hoping to bring my travel trailer, but it still needs some major work that I can’t get done that quickly. Maybe next year Ric and I can take the entire driveway!

Some people use the bushes.

Today I cut a bunch of 3/16" white acrylic for a new light box. I have a bunch of drops that are headed to the dumpster. My trunk is an option too!

I have 5 pieces a little over 12" wide x 48" also have 4 pieces 8.75" x 96" that I could cut shorter. I can get close to 6’ in the car. Also one other 96" long piece that’s probably over 6" wide.

LMK here by tomorrow (Wednesday) evening so I can put in the car Thursday.

I’m sure someone can use that stuff.
