I stopped by the Anaheim Train Expo for a few hours this morning. It is a mixed Scale Show.

First thing I noticed was a C19 #41 running on the Del Oro Layout almost identical to mine

There were a lot of layouts in various scales. These are some scenes that attracted my attention.

How about 107 coal cars (Even in N, I couldn't fit all of them in the picture)

Image


The rest are from the Del Oro Layout where they have a very large layout on display.

Great shots Tommy. We are going to Portland for one of these shows in a couple weeks The shows up here don't reach the magnitude of So. Cal shows. Thanks for the photos.

Did anyone else take advantage of the 50% off all Aristocraft sale at the R&G booth?

I did see them until Sunday (maybe they just decided Saturday night they didn't want to schlep it all back home) that was a big WOW! for me and I got some greatly needed items. Now I can repair my 0-4-0 switcher.

Well Marty, I got the 0-4-0 repair/upgrade wheel kit for $10 (tagged $19.95), a centercab motor block for $25 (tagged $50), and a BTE R/C controller for $40 (tagged $80). I would have considered more if I hadn't run out of greenbacks.

Thanks Tommy, great pictures. We are setting up the first week of February at the Great Train show don't compare to that one.
The place we set up is dirty, they use it for monster trucks and I don't think they clean it after there done.
They use to have it in two different rooms it was very nice carpet on the floors.

Wow the aircraft carrier and battleship are incredible. Looks like USS Independence and USS Missouri.

Any idea if these were scratch built or kits? Highly unlikely any 1/87 scale kits were made, but maybe 1/100?

I'm assuming that is an HO scale layout. Looks too big to be N.

They are scratched, 1/87 scale, he built them specifically for the layout. WHat you cannot see is there is also a victory ship, a destroyer, and an LST. He says he's building a 1/87 USS Hornet, complete with B-25s
