First I want to thank Barry for running a great show, good clinics and a lot of great models on display. I'm looking forward to the show again next year and hope to have something to display model wise by then.

Here is a link to the photos I took at the Meet, plus.google.com/photos/11475478591875672.../5932381347247026385

Rob...thanks for posting the pictures.Great modeling one and all.

Really love the Minersville structures.What scale are they?Who modeled them?I would like to say,Thanks for a fantastic job.As kids we spent a lot of time on the station side walk watching the coal trains in and out of New St. Nicks.We also rode our bikes up the ramp of the old freight house too...don't remember it being used at that time.We started to explore the inside once but the biggest rat we ever seen caused us to haul a$$...never entered it again.


Anyway...Thanks for stirring up some childhood memories.
Great Job! :)

As16's from Bowser with dynamic brakes would be fine.

According to Athearn's web page they will be announcing a new genesis engine and an upgraded model to their line of genesis locos.Hopefully ,it will be the GP 35 moving up to the genesis line,with 37 units on the RDG,we need a decent 35.Since I started building my first extended cab maybe they'll move their SD45 up to the genesis line and offer the extended cab for the RDG units.That would be ok with me.

Ron Giordani (aka RDG5310) had a great clinic on RDG GP-35's and modeling in general. When Tom gets time to add it here take time to look at it. Just like the info I presented on RS-3's Ron pointed out that the 35's were in three (3) distinct groups as far as spotting features.

I could pass on the Genesis line, just offer Undec.
