Model Railroading > Photos from around TrainFest

I did not do video this year, nor did I really think to take many pictures.  It was more about enjoyment this year since it will likely be my last visiting Trainfest.  I just noticed the lack of photos on this site regarding items, so I figured I would provide a few.  My time was still pretty short becaue I ended up doing livestreams with Model Railroad Hobbyist, Model Railroader Magazine and TrainWorld TV .   So, the photos provided below are far from all inclusive:

Wow great stuff. The photos explain a lot of the questions fom the past few days of posts.
t4p.

Thanks for the photos! The underside of the cement cars looks really good, I appreciate the view of that detail. I also didn't realize Atlas was also making the racks.

So no perforated panels on the Atlas models. They are basically ST Operator quality. Thanks for the photos.

 Thanks for taking the time to post these informative photos!

How was the weight on those atlas covered hoppers and the scale trains auto racks?

I'm sure Plano will have panels out fairly soon if there's a demand for them.

It's cheaper to go ST Rivet Counter. 

James,

Why is this your last Trainfest?  Bruce

Those Intermountain high cube DD cars are 2 years late

The SD45's include the major variety of body styles as demonstrated by the early model SP 8800, the DB-less CNW, and the majority of others being the most common styles.   

Any reason why UP was not included in the U28C options?  I believe the style UP had were the version being produced.

Bruce,  I'm retiring from the USAF next spring.  I fully anticipate my vacation time will go from plentiful to scarce.  We get 30 days a year, plus weekends, holidays and a few other days.  The most I've heard of in civilian jobs is around 3 weeks.  So I wanted to stop covering at least one train show.  In addition, another youtube channel began coverage about two years ago and he does a good job at coverage so there's no reason to duplicate the effort.

I wonder at this point how much the panels matter though. On older racks, in reality, you can see through. But on the newer racks the holes are getting so minimal that you can hardly see what is inside.
