West Springfield Show

[Lee Carlson]

Good morning, Bach-Man!

I'm looking forward to seeing you again this year at the big train show this coming weekend at West Springfield, MA. 

Sure hope you'll have samples of the WBB Peter Witt trolley with you.

Cheers,
Lee Carlson

The show was fantastic!  Over 7 acres of trains, in 4 buildings.
I had time to chat a little with the Bach-Man, and got to see
the Peter Witt.  What a beautiful model that is.  Can't wait until
it's released.

After being trainshowed out, my friends and I headed to Palmer,
where the CSX Boston Line and the New England Central Mainline
cross on a diamond, and the Mass. Central comes to the junction,
and 4 Amtrak trains a day pass.  We also got to see a Loram rail
grinder train pass us while we ate lunch in the Steaming Tender
Restaurant, which is the old Palmer Union Station.

Anyone within 3 or 4 hours should mark his/her calendar for next
year.  The trip is worth it.

I have to say, I was  really impressed by the Williams display layout at the show. The trains having a ton of track in a confined space as well as taking extremely steep grades, had a wow factor
