Hi all, I returned home early from the convention.
Here are some of my observations: 1). The layout tours were a treat. I thought the Lydecker Flyer layout was exceptionally and tastefully done. The McCarty collection was priceless. Excellent examples of bench-work on some other layouts-in-progress. 2). Lots of new scale and high-rail stuff to see - especially from S-Helper and American Models. 3.) Good clinic on getting started with DCC for about $140. 4). Didn't see any Flyer parts dealers with parts (Doug Peck from Portlines was there, but with no parts.). A couple vendors had some incidental parts. 5.) Looks like Timko stocks an improved can motor (okay - that's parts). It sports a flywheel and the manufacturer reduced the diameter of the worm shaft so the chassis bushing doesn't have to be removed. 6). People were friendly and enthusiastic. Lots of fun sharing ideas. I'll be interested to read what some other attendees experienced.
