It is fun being at these shows and I'm glad I am bale to share the photos with the group here. If it weren't for THE Runner I wouldn't have been asked to make all these photos of the models in the contest room. It was a privilege and I appreciate it a lot.


Be sure to check out my website where I have photos from all the narrow gauge conventions I've attended. Download as many photos as you want as Jimmy Deignan is kind enough to pay that internet bill  ;D  Just be sure to visit Jimmy's Railroad Kits website and buy some FSM castings.

Joshua is only 16 years old. He is an excellent modeler. I am looking forward to seeing what all Joshua will come up with as he grows up and gets more experience.

That is pretty much all the winners of the model entries. There is of course the winners of the photograph entries. I've chosen over the years not to post photos of the winning photo entries. This is due to various reasons I won't get into here. But, let me tell you that each winning entry was fantastic. Maybe you will make it to a narrow gauge convention one day and see for yourself.


I have lots of photos of the layouts on tour I attended. I am hoping others that were present at the convention will post some of their photos as well. So stay tuned for more to come as it comes...

I have some photos of layouts from the convention.  These will not be near the quality of Jaime's, so don't get your hopes up too high.   :) The first is an HO scale layout built by the late Bill Briggs.  The Musselshell & Yogo Peak Railroad.  Modeling Montana in the '60s.  Even though he has passed on, the layout will be donated to a local museum for exhibition.

A couple more of this layout.  Other layouts as the pictures are resized.
