Today was the first day of the NEW train show in Ottawa.....OTTAWA RAILEXPO........It has been proven to be a TOTAL SUCCESS, in spite of detractors and first show teething problems.....
The Venue was bright and cheerful; BIG and freemoving aisles......
Yep, Fred, I have to agree with you.
The show was very good ... especially once I located the reason for the electrical hiccups (six Aristo rail joiner screws fell out while the layout was in storage in the trailer over the winter -- fortunately I carry spares).
We had a deluge of young visitors on Saturday morning, and a steady flow thereafter.
Air-conditioned venue with big north-facing windows and soft floor was much appreciated.
Many vendors I have never seen before.
I look forward to the next edition.
