The Fall Strasburg show was today. It was a good too see everybody. Lots of stuff in the show.
Bob Heil was showing B&O passenger cars to try to drum-up some interest in Golden Gate’s newly announced Capitol Limited cars. The display models were built up from kits and not the production cars. They only way to order the observation car is as part of an eight car set. The problem for me (thinking about the B&O running to Jersey City) is the eight car set includes the dome car, which did not run into NY. And I’m not sure about the two unit diner cars either. That would make three of the eight cars in the set not running over the Reading rails from Philadelphia to Jersey City.
Rich Yoder had one of his LV cement gondolas at the show. They aren’t cheap, but they do look neat.
My friend Michael Rahilly was at his usual table selling Intermountain wheelsets, Kadee couplers and a host of other things on his table with the help of his daughter.
John Dunn and Rich Yoder put on another nice show. Lots of modeling stuff finding new homes and good conversations all around.
