I remember the orange hall opening in time for the October 2003 meet. That was the one where Lionel introduced Railsounds 5.0 and the JLC H7 locomotives. At their booth they had individual stations with locomotives on rollers that you could try with a Cab-1. One of them was the new NKP TMCC Berkshire. When I tried it and pushed the whistle button I was blown out of the hall; it was to me, and still is, one of the best sounding locos ever made. I went right over to Gryzboski's booth and bought one. My dad was with me, and we had a lot of fun.
I do remember the outside tents and still miss them, it was always fun to see what was inside!
Great thread!
