Congratulations Bruce!!! The pictures shown here of your store do it no justice!

Congratulations to you also, Rooster No lettering on the Cumberland Valley RR car…did your sign guy move away ? Ralph

It was lettered at the show, but that was the only picture I had of it. I forgot about this one…

Lou’s Toonerville Trolley took a first as well but the picture I have was terrible blurry! It’s to the left of Bruces store… Was kinda hoping Bruce would chime in with his own pictures…but I can’t wait

Dad scratching his nose…he seemed to do that a lot when I was around him?

Yes , congratulations again to both of you for the amazing models. Also to Lou for his work , a lot of imagination in the trolley. Maybe we’ll get a small post build thread on the process.

Yes congrats to Rooster and Bruce…sounds like it was a great show. Tell us more about any great deals to be had. Was ther any specials on brass track? Or AMS rolling stock. ETC.

Great pictures Rooster. I love the one of you and Fr. Fred! My camera never mad it inside the show, but I did get a few pics at Friday Night’s Drag-N-Brag… We got a preview of Bruce’s Best-In-Show entry…

And a close up look at The Corner Office…

The party had been going on for quite a while when we arrived and there was a pretty good crowd. I think we would have had more if the room wasn’t so well hidden

I’m not sure exactly what Ken was doing in the corner, but It caused a few to cover their eyes, one to scratch his head and another to throw up their hands!

Bob, Bruce, Doug Matheson from Ottawa and Ken having a laugh… I’m not good with names so anyone who wishes to name the un-named please do so…

Far left is Gary; seated in front Stu Moxley and Paul Norton from Ottawa. The gentleman to the left of Bob and the lady seated need ID…

Tomorrow morning a group of us are headed down to Ken’s to run. If the weather cooperates I’ll have some pictures to post when I get home. Congratulations to Bruce Chandler and David Russell and Lou on their wins in the contest.

I’m impressed! Good work gentlemen! Paul

Ken_Brunt · March 25, 2012, 12:10am

I’ll let the others chime in with their deals, but Nicholas Smith had the B’mann Rail Truck for $95 sooooooooooooo, guess who bought one?

Richard_Smith · March 25, 2012, 12:12am

Does this mean a remake of “The Odd Couple” is imminent??

St. Aubbins had a selection of AMS cars at 30% off their already discounted prices. I picked up a 'number only' AMS tank car for $74 including tax.

Ric's always patient with the kids. Tall, white headed Roosters, that's another story ;) Ralph
