I will bring "Lou’s Loo"for table display.
Will need map and compass to find the table.
IMPORTANT BULLETIN*************
My wife found a restaurant in the Shopping Center next to the hotel called “99 Something” that has prime rib special on Friday and Saturday.
We return you to your regularly scheduled drivel.
Yea, there’s a bunch of restaurants right there. We’ve traditionally done Longhorn the last couple years. I’ve also gone to Cal’s Wood Fired across the street, but its REALLY busy and pricey. But I managed to sneak in and sit at the bar.
Sneak Peek.
I believe this is now done. what you are looking at is a kit I designed and built the first proof of principle model of a Barnhart Log loader in 1:20 with log cars to be displayed at the show. the cab swivels as the chains move over various pulleys. come out and see it in person. it is huge. and i do not think it stands a chance thru my tunnel. contact Iron Creek Shops for info on the kit.

that is made from a kit?? - wow!
Korm,
do not have details on its release yet, but Don plans to have some available for this years narrow gauge convention. all castings are from 3d printed masters, boiler and water tanks are 3d printed parts. over a year and a half or more for design and development for this pilot model.

I think you may need to quickly fabricate a clear acrylic box to protect it from drool! Amazing detail.

I should be heading up to the show on Saturday and I’m thinking about bringing some items to sell. How does that work?
I’m also thinking about bringing the Schnabel IF I can figure out how to transport it safely into the drag and brag tables.

From what I understand, you will fill out a form for each item you want to sell at the White Elephant table. It was suggested to bring your home address labels. Makes it easier for that and if you need to fill out raffle tickets.
Packing up the truck. Think I have everything, which means I dont, but, well.
That’s exactly it. Stan can provide more detail, but basically you fill out a form and pay a nominal fee to have it on the table.
From the nelsts.org site
Sellers will be asked to donate $1 for each 5 items they wish to sell to help cover our
costs. On completion of sale(s) the seller will donate 10% of the sale as a commission
to the Steam Locomotive Operations Group, Inc.
If the seller desires in advance to accept credit cards for their sales and a credit card is
used, an additional 2% of the sale will be charged to cover credit card processing fees.
Have fun guys and remember as always preached on LSC …We like pictures here!
Are videos acceptable, too, Rooster? haha
I am all packed up too!
I still have some free bits to give away. They’re coming with me. So, come find me, if you’d like to see what I’ve got. Can’t wait to meet some of you this weekend.
If you are at Springfield and looking for plastic I will be at the Hampton Inn around 4. Text 2 oh 3 . 7 four 6 . Eight oh 3 3 to find me.
Thanks for the plastic. That should keep me for a while.
Booth is all set up (not much to do, thanks for the help Jon) and priced my white elephant stuff to sell.
I saw the booth, Bob. Looks great!
Then I got all my white elephant stuff registered, and took this blurry pano shot. Everyone’s still setting up.

I’m now convinced I’m being tracked. You mentioned you’ve enabled the schnable for transport and I opened Flipboard and this came up!
It is telepathy. Us Schnabel fans are linked!
There’s room. We’ll make some.
