Train show in High Bridge NJ

Well, it was fun, and the models were great. I do have to say though, those tugboat models really helped me "see" them. I know most of those tugs that Mr. Koenig built, and they are all sticking out of the mud off of staten island in real life. The "Lackawanna" and "Pocono" are there, along with some PRR tugs and maybe a Lehigh Valley one (though it could be a Moran tug).

here are some sites relating to them, and you can find them in a couple photos, though i think a couple of the railroad tugs have finally collapsed. there are a bunch of Navy Sub Chasers and rescue tugs in there as well-

I also saw a couple Lackawanna MU cars that i loved. Those were the Island Model Works cars, and i'm glad to see people buying his stuff. If you model any commuter operation, go to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.islandmodelworks.com">www.islandmodelworks.com</a><!-- w --> . You'll probably find it.

E-paw's 4-8-0 camel back was also an epic piece of work.

all in all it was a good day, despite being a small event.
