Dennis

I will check it today and post their contact info.

The great silver-back Boomer hunts for little people, if you listen closely you can hear their tiny screams…the horror…the horror.

Wednesday (Part 2) Civil War & Locomotive History and Archives, Southern Museum: Kennesaw (Big Shanty)

Another one of those places where we could have spent all day.

A 1/12th scale Pullman car with full interior.

A huge display of the locomotive repair shop in Chattanooga

A very cool bridge I plan on copying.

And of course “The General”. This the real one, not a copy or reproduction. The “Texas” is at the Atlanta History Center being restored. It will remain there. There are no plans to display the two together which I think would be the thing to do.

This was our last museum. It has been a very good convention for historic and prototypical steam.

Thanks for posting the pics y’all.

Can anybody tell me what I am seeing here?

I don’t understand John… it is a G scale train.

What do you think it is? Something crazy like say… two miniature aquariums with live goldfish on flatcars with a air pump support car? Geez that would just be crazy talk.

Darn, I was hoping for Salt Water batteries to power the train! Oh well.

Thanks for playin’ along.

Thursday (Part 1) Layouts

I like the way you think…perhaps one of our electronic wizards could figure that out using eels or tetra?

Thursday (Part 2) Layouts

Note: If you use real dynamite to clear the ROW for your garden railroad you are the “man”…err and “woman”

Well then… guess I won’t be complaining about rocks and dirt anymore. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

This concludes the out door layouts. More from the vendor hall and the banquet Friday night.

That engine is a long way from home… Nice pics Boomer and Hollywood …(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Holy rock hillside Batman(Boomerman) !!! That is an impressive hillside that has been used very well to display full size and g scale st the same time!!! Wow !

Boomer, do you know if that rock waterfall is a natural one or is the water pumped up there?? Awesome

Eels as they party in the gargantuan sea not in train cars. Besides tetra is dead along with sega and atari

Do you know how old Jesse and Kim’s RR is ?
