Marty's 10th Anniversary Battery Powered Steamup 2012

Just a reminder to share that Marty’s 10th Anniversary run is Sept 21-23 at his place in Nebraska City, NE.

Things are coming together at this end for the banquet, shirts and name tags. Marty has the logistics handled for the layout and vendor spots in the garages and the all important “Port-a-Potti’s” (we’ll have 2 this year) :slight_smile: :smiley:

The good news is that because of the change in banquet locations, we’re able to hold pricing as it was last year. The only “wrinkle”, if you can call it that, is we’re limited to 100 at the banquet. PERIOD and we already have 82 that have signed up.

Reservation forms will be emailed in the next 2 weeks with all the payment deadlines for the banquet, shirts and name tags.

I understand that the Best Western is booked but there are a number of other motels in the Nebraska City area. Do a Google for “Nebraska City Hotels” and you’ll find them. Auburn has some nice smaller motels.

As in years past, Marty’s asked me to handle the reservations, shirt and name tag orders and the financial stuff.

Email me for additional input and if you haven’t received the “Official Registration Form”. [email protected]

For those of you that has never been to one of Marty’s Battery Powered Steam Up, This is the year you need to make plans for it. He now has a loop of 1" scale, 4 1/2" gauge track to play with also. It is a great event and you’ll met a lot of people that like to play with trains. This will be our 8th year and I have enjoyed every one of them. I usually get there on Thursday to help Marty if I can. Then of Friday the fun starts and we go till Sunday evening. Also last year Marty built a big double track loop for the live steamers. If you don’t have a battery powered locomotive, there will be people there including myself that will help you convert one of your locomotives to battery or there will be some that will let you use one of theirs.
