SP&S - dirty, noisy Alcos with a slightly drab livery in wonderful scenery and the story of the Hill / Harriman battle of the barons. One day, I must get round to modelling it (when it was the SP&S)! All my models seem to represent it either as BN (Ho scale) or BNSF (N scale). I guess it wil...

It's bad enough when this appends to a model. I was cheesed off when I dropped a screw on the floor this evening,

Just a quick note to say well done to the team and thank you for a great convention.

Saw lots of old friends, made some new ones. Good time all round.
