I missed that....
You can see me walking behind Chad. I must have been working a wreck...
I enjoyed the video......but one mystery. You're seat was empty.....I thought you never left that spot all three days......
Still alive. After nts 17 I was a little in the dumps. Nice to see 18 a better showing.
Thanks for sharing the 2018NTS. I was watching model railroad 2018 video and they didn't show any of the Z scale. They even had Atlas there and not a word was said about the new flex track!
Here's a link to a video with our modules. Our modules appear at minute 25:12https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRASkyDmO3c
Just responding to an email that I haven't logged in for awhile.I'm still interested in Z scale model trains, so just checking in to say, don't cancel my membership!
Thanks for the great pictures of the NTS
Greetings from Switzerland and yes I'm still alive!
Why does the site load so slowly? Discourages visiting the site more often.
