Ed Bommer gave a talk on a couple of his recent models. One being a SIRT directors car the other being an early Mack motor coach.

Thanks.

There were at least 4 attendees from MTJ. Attendance was in the 40-50 person range best I can tell.

Thanks for sharing the photos!

Phil,
Thank you for sharing the photos. I wish that I had attended. Some nifty stuff! Gotta love the trolleys, sharks and N de M diesels!
