  The stairs were not too bad to make the climb to the top. Yes, the admission must of been a change as a family was watching from the parking lot as they were not prepared for the fee. If you are planning on spending the day there $9.00 was not too bad. ~Tony

Our friendship over the last 10 years has been an a hallmark of my model railroading. The fact the we have met and got to know each other over social media, just speaks volumes in itself. I only wish that we had more time to talk. Hopefully now that retirement is coming soon I can make a trip to Iowa to run on the Rock Island! Oh thank you for the cool gifts and swag!

  Hello Joe. Thank you Joe for the warm welcome and opening up your home for the evening for an Op Session. Having conversed back and forth over the years it did not feel like I was meeting someone new for the first time but instead visiting with an old friend. I'm glad that when Michael and I were setting up our N Scale Convention plans so many months ago, that I reached out to see if an Op Session was an option. There were so many railroad things that we covered on our trip out east but the Op Session on your layout was the highlight of the trip for me. I wish you well in the following months leading up to your retirement. If you ever make it to Iowa I will keep a throttle and a train ready for you. Enjoy that Corn Country Rails T-Shirt in Conrail blue & white. ~Tony

  Would you say that many of the sellers in the swap-a-rama also had room sales? I didn’t do any room sales in Reno since I only got there on Friday, but I got the impression that going to the room sales is a good way to get early access to items that would later show up in the train show.

• 
  @CornCountryRails21 күн бұрын

  There were many Room Sales that also had tables at the train show. The nice thing about that is they had more room to spread out all their items at the train show. Sometimes in the Room Sales, you're limited on space to put everything out to be sold. I thought this year's Room Sales were great. I had not gotten these kind of deals since the 2019 Convention in Chicago. You are correct that the Room Sales can be a great sneak peek for items that may show up at the Train Show. Having plenty of cash on hand is also good advice for the Room Sales. ~Tony
