Strong depot on Lou Sassi's On30 layout |
The Tracks to the Triangle MER annual meet is drawing to a close. It was an extremely well run event and I had a great time. I want to thank Jack Dziadul and his crew for inviting me, and providing great support during the meet.

Lou Sassi host an open house for his beautiful On30 layout. |
I got to tour four layouts, attended several clinics, and presented 3 clinics myself. I also did the key note talk at the awards banquet. Unfortunately, throughout the weekend I suffered from a severe case of Laryngitis. In spite of my sore throat and weak voice, using a microphone I was able to get through all my presentations.
I am looking forward to next year's event in Harrisburg, PA. I also learned that in 2018, the Potomac Division will be hosting the meet in the DC area. I better get cracking on getting the Aquia Line up and running before then.

We had a mini Porsche Paddock in the hotel parking lot as Charlie, Hank and I drove our Porsches to the event. (Hank's car is behind me and not in the photo)

That O-Scale 3-rail scene is stellar! He really puts some effort into his modeling!
