Good start on the photos Jaime.  Scranton buildings would make a good street scene to model.
Hope the hotdogs aren't green. ::)

The folks at Trackside Scenery brought their Spruce Coal modular layout. Very nice and their backdrops are great. Check them out on YouTube.

Two shots of the Trackside Scenery Layout and one of the layout turnout control panel.  They use the Barretthill toggle switches.  The panel has a glass cover and you just touch the glass and the turnout changes position and the light changes color.  He made the panel printout on his computer and printed it on photo paper.  Neat!

Three items from the vendor room.  First is LaserModeling 3's Elba Coal company.  It's a small coal/oil facility.  Even though I need no more kits, I've always liked the look of this one, so it came home with me.   :)  Second is a rock outcropping made from Sterling Models molds.  The molds came home with me also.   :D  Third is a scene with bridge abutments from NE Brownstone.  He was selling bags of the dirt he used in the scene as well.  Several bags of the dirt and the abutments managed to find their way home with me, too.   ;D
