It was nice to see Steve and Chris at the show. The presentations were good for the most part, tho I had to leave early so missed one on modeling NYC tugs from the Walthers kit. I was hoping to see that one. The model tugs on dispaly were very nice, as were many other nicely built and weathered models on hand. I saw some nice structures in displays by manufacturers too. One I would like to buy when I get a job is in this link:

I really like the two cranes included, I was told the gantry crane would be made available seperately, but I don't see it on the web page yet.
I also saw a passenger station that would work nicely at the yard scene I've been working on, just teh right size and appearance, but a hefty price so I don't know if I'll be buying this one:

Steve's camelback is really sweet. I like the way the front axle is spaced differently than the others. The only time I remember seeing something like that is on some 4-6-0's where the last axle is pushed further back under the firebox. It just looks cool.
