Been doing Indy several years now, great show!  Seems better every year.  Looking forward to the clinics.  Close to the airport, safe free parking, nice hotel, friendly crowd.  

Will Norm Pullen and Bill Davis  be their with their 30+ tables of deals?

Last year I got several NOS Sunset engines  I missed when first offered.          

Hello all

Thank you Dan for sponsoring the show 

Looking forward to my first Indy show. Working  on some of the bricks to move for outside 3rd rail demonstrations at the show . Stop by and marvel at 80 year old O scale ...or laugh your choice.

Here we have a mid 30's Alexander dual motor box cab .... one motor is slightly  faster than the other fine once up to speed, but for going back and forth on 6' of track not so much ...why yes that is the reverse knob sticking through the roof just like the prototype .

See you in Indy, bring  your vintage O scale .

Cheers Carey

The CLW H-10 frame must be assembled from steel side frames and various cross members.  Do you have the axle bearings and dummy spring hangers that fit this frame?  If not you might be better to find a complete kit on ebay.  They show up from time to time.  Finding "Section1" for this kit by itself may be difficult.

I have sections 3 & 4 and am missing the first two sections, so basically frame drivers, cylinders, side rods, motor etc.  I do keep an eye out on the bay for parts, but that is hit or miss you know.  I understand it is probably more likely that I would find a complete engine than just the drivetrain, but hey the fun is in the journey right?    If I understand correctly, the early version (Saginaw and maybe the early CLW) had cast bronze frames and the later ones were fabricated.  My tender is the later version with the brass sheet sides versus the early one with the cast tender.  Probably lots of ways to go.

We will be running trains Friday night till 9 and Saturday 10-5 for those of you that would like to visit our 3-Rail Layout. We are in Atlanta, Indiana - about 20 minutes north of Carmel. 

Take I-465 North and get off at US31 - then US31 North to 296th Street and turn right - Lisa's Pie Shop is on the corner. Follow 296th Street East and it takes you into Atlanta. Right on Broadway and Right on Main. 

Saturday and Sunday is the New Earth Festival in Atlanta and there will be @600 vendors; artists and food folks here - your wife might have a good time.

The Indianapolis O Scale and S Scale Midwest show is over. There were a few bumps in the road but, by large, it was successful with more attendees than in recent years, not to mention more layouts. We leaned why the previous promoter had rented tables and not used the hotel tables... it would have been nice if we were told the reasoning ahead of time, but lesson learned. The table size was about the only issue. In the next O Scale Resource magazine, we'll cover the show, as well as an open letter to all with what went wrong, what went right and what we'll change for next year along with the man hours involved with putting on a show like this. Most, if any promoters, don't do this, but we believe the people who paid have a right know.

To those vendors and attendees  who attended, we thank you.  We received more positive comments than negative, and a lot of people thanked us for our hard work - for that we are very appreciative.

Amy & Dan Dawdy

I really enjoyed myself yesterday, I traveled to the show with a friend of mine who just recently switched from HO to O Scale, we're both members of the Cincinnati Model Railway Club, he bought 2 Atlas SD-40's and about 8 freight car's, I bought a Atlas C&O Tri-Colored RPO, and a few other things I needed, overall it was a good day, thanks again for your hard work for putting on a great show.

What A Show!

Sold a ton of models,found some really neat stuff for my collection too . Dan and Amy have my vote for next year. Great service,every problem solved with a smile and immediate attention to dealers and attendees needs.

Talk about an Hor's D'oeuvre spread, nothing like it in 30 years of shows....

Look forward to next year and thanks for a well run show.

Sincerely,

Bill Davis 

Didn't make it this year, had other family obligations to tend to.  Already on the calender for next year though!   Dennis H, you must be in my neck of the woods.  I am up in Kokomo, also bout 50 miles north of Indy.  I tinker in to many scales, O 2 rail being one of the.  Have picked back up on my All Nation F3 dummy that needs drive train parts to power it.   Painting it today since the weather sucks for anything outdoors.  Looks like it was a fantastic show.  I look forward to attending in 2018.     Mike and Michele T

Hello,

thank you so much for organize and host the show. We had a really good time, the layout tours were also a great event, we enjoy it. Every layout, we visit, we had more then an warm welcome, we had the feeling, to come home to friends. 

As we told you, the show was part of our round-trip, it was more then "worth", to visit it. We can recomand it to every 0 scale enthusiast.

BTW., Funny thing, to show us in the first minute of the video :-)

 

 

thanks

 

kindest regards

 

Elmar
