[Jay Criswell]

Kathy & I will be there. If you're attending, please stop be and say hello. No purchase required .

Trying to pack things for the Chicago Meet. Too much stuff! Anybody have any requests for items they want me to bring?

Would love to go, but no can do for a multitude of reasons. Hope the two of you have a nice time and decent weather! Take some pics for us, if possible.

Not making the trip; had to cancel everything due to uncertainty of OST's future.

Hello all ..looking forward to the big "March Meet". I'll have a table displaying vintage old O scale ..and a huge 6' main line with outside 3rd rail again. Please stop by and say hello .
I've been working on the layouts but no where near prime time for running . With luck next year, I'll ask if they need another layout for touring . If you are coming into town and like door stops and would like to see the collection please email me .
Cheers Carey

I'll be there. I suggested you bring me a couple of boxes of code 125 flex in your suitcase - I don't remember you responding to my generous offer .

The 10 day forecast I looked at yesterday suggested snow the weekend of the show. Which is too bad, since that usually means they don't open IRM for us. Perhaps we'll have to just be regular tourists instead on Friday.

Amy will be between Chemo's so we'll both be there for The O Scale Resource as well as the model contest. Stop by and see a few of the build from the magazine. and... no hair jokes

[Jay Criswell]

Jim,

Uhh, what offer was that?

Jay

[Jay Criswell]

Dan,

Not to worry, precious few in the room can afford to make "Hair Jokes"! I quit years ago.

Dan:

I hadn't heard.

Give Amy our very best wishes for success and speedy recovery.

[big bad jim]

Jay,
I casually dropped a hint in an email back at the beginning of the year, about whether you were planning on attending the show. It was a "tee hee" kind of thing, since two cases of track would be a bit tougher to fit than some wheelsets or #10 frogs. A couple of us here in the burgeoning Toledo P48 scene will need some track soon, but we're happy to pay the freight.

[RDSRR]

Thank you for your kind word here and email. Amy appreciates it. Now... hopefully she won't be crabby

[Tom Dempsey]

What could she possibly have to be crabby about?

[Jay Criswell]

Dan,

Amy's not the one we're worried about!

Jay

[Jay Criswell]

Jim,

I do have one more box to pack and it's fairly long. P:48 flex would fit just fine.

Guys wish I could go, not able again... however Jeff Macdonald and a new guy Leighton Moreland will be there from here. Be sure and welcome Leighton if you see him as he is going to be there on behalf of Caboose Ltd in Lakewood, CO. He’s a great young man and I’ve worked hard with to peruse o Scale and he’s even building a beautiful engine service facility that will mate up with the Longmont Terminal and Northern layout.

Have a good time and greetings from the Colorado guys!
