Large Scale Central

Part of the 2011 National Narrow Gauge Convention

This looks very interesting. I think its been posted some place before but worthy of the convention trip itself.

Ric,
That does look pretty interesting. But it’s a pretty good drive from Hickory.
The web-site says almost 2 hours, Map Quest shows 2 hours, 43 minutes.
I guess one of them is correct :wink:

Ralph,

We’ll becoming from 50 miles east of St. Louis. 3 hours? That’s just a “road trip”.

Ric,
The video was great!! Only one interesting observation, that train passed over the highway 3 times during the video and I never heard the engineer sound the crossing horn at all. I guess a small industry switcher is different then the main line operation.

Two hours plus, a long trip???? We drive further than that on a Saturday morning to go fishing. Go to the convention, you will enjoy it. I am pretty sure that the Sundance Central will be set up there and if you haven't seen it before it alone is worth the trip. Later Rick

I’m not trying to discourage anyone from attending any of the convention events.
Just letting people know that the travel time stated on the web-site was a bit optimistic :wink:

Myself, unfortunately I’ll have to work the weekdays. September falls within our busy season.

If you bring the cupcakes............;)

1167.3 miles from OKC, 2 days, 2 hours and 54 minutes with two overnight stays as per Streets & Trips. I know I can do it in 18 hours not including the mandatory 10 hour DOT break… lol.

Neat little RR, would be nice to see it.
