Wilfred Egert: We can't show you any new Z scale product announcements if no Z scale manufacturers respond to our requests for announcements.
Charles Randall: The show was just last weekend! Give us a little time to edit the video. 🙂
No video tour this year? I really liked last years coverage in Atlanta.
Once again Z scale is totally omitted, or ignored…It is still not recognized as part of the train world. I have layouts in both HO and Z, and both have a place in my enjoyment of the hobby.
This preliminary report will be kept for sometime. The best list of new products I have seen in some time. Thanks Kalmbach for making it available.
Great to see some of what is new and coming out, I recently purchased some of the new Kam Konnect modules, and they are awesome, very sturdy and easy to use and they eliminate drop in track on modular set ups. Looking forward to next weeks report!
Nice report. Thanks for the information.
I'd prefer a preliminary report on the layouts. Those are only things I go to see at train shows.
Hmmm No Z scale….
Thank you for giving me a peek at the 'Train Show' I was unable to attend, but this took me there. Hiram Graves
I was there this afternoon. It was worth a couple of hours just to view the layouts and talk with manufacturer's reps about their products. That is probably the biggest difference between this show and the flea market shows like Greenberg. I was able to talk to reps from Athern Bachmann Kato City Classics Exact Rail etc
I saw Cody and David Popp walking around but due to time constraints.
All and all a good show.
