Okay, Salt Lake City, time for you to take your lumps. Or more properly, the construction zone masquerading as an airport.

2019 NMRA Convention- Day 0 or - where to get coffee at 6am at Little America

Day 1: https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/36979

 

And..... I'm back! 

I arrived at the Little America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah about noon today (Saturday). 

I know, you're saying, "Hey, Jeff - the convention doesn't start until Sunday!" 

You're right... but the NMRA Board of Director's meeting is on Saturday and I was going to see if I could make it for that..... and it started at 9am. Nope.

Climb aboard a 7-1/2" gauge

I had the pleasure this weekend of riding along with friends in Div 4 and Div 9 of the North Central Region aboard the White Creek Railroad in rural Michigan. Very beautiful and very large railroad. Enjoy the ride.

Live videos from the Salt Lake City National Train Show?

Would anyone be interested in some short quick live videos from the Salt Lake City National Train Show in July?

We could even take requests -- the idea is "What's ___ from vendor ___" and we will walk over and shoot a short 5 min video and ask them!

Anyone interested in that?
