| 10-5 18:00:38 | ejshelton | Yes Very sad.....I'm sure Steve will be upset. I won't be going if we aren't in it |
| 10-5 18:00:24 | soccrdad30 | That sucks Thom |
| 10-5 17:59:42 | rvn2001 | I don't know that there's any supervision. They gave him total control of the show. |
| 10-5 17:59:27 | GNFan | One person with a reputation for bias against Z.... |
| 10-5 17:59:22 | ejshelton | I'm contacting the local NMRA.... |
| 10-5 17:58:41 | soccrdad30 | I am surprised no one over ruled that decision maker on no Z. |
| 10-5 17:54:37 | rvn2001 | I wish they'd go back to having a committee decide what layouts should be there rather than one person. |
| 10-5 17:53:13 | ejshelton | My friend is upset....and I'm sure lots will not like it. I have lots of NMRA friends that support my Z..... |
| 10-5 17:51:56 | GNFan | We'll maybe do a tiny ad hoc layout to demonstrate, but it won't be the same. |
| 10-5 17:51:38 | soccrdad30 | Atta boy Thom! |
| 10-5 17:51:36 | ejshelton | Yes you did.....and all where impressed. |
| 10-5 17:51:05 | rvn2001 | I had the ONLY working crossing gates, flashers and bell sound last year. |
| 10-5 17:51:03 | soccrdad30 | in larger scales you can buy about anything and everything for model trains |
| 10-5 17:50:50 | ejshelton | I agree Mike. One year in Indy I was kept out. The big Z dealer lost Z sales that year. |
| 10-5 17:50:11 | soccrdad30 | Agree Mike. Z is more 'what can be done' |
| 10-5 17:49:46 | rvn2001 | I agree, Mike. |
| 10-5 17:49:14 | GNFan | Sad. I'l be there with Steve Eichman selling stuff, but it won't be te same without Z layouts. The layouts show what you can do in Z, but vendors can really only supply the materials (track, buildings, locos, rolling stock...). It's a team effort. |
| 10-5 17:49:01 | rvn2001 | That's why I haven't renewed my mwembership for the last several years. |
| 10-5 17:48:26 | ejshelton | Not living up to their pledge. Sad |
| 10-5 17:47:41 | soccrdad30 | it is a problem with them for neglecting another scale of model trains. Then they are not doing their part to encompass other scales and promoting model trains |
| 10-5 17:46:37 | ejshelton | Yes it is.....and I'll share it with my NMRA friends. Who although they are N scalers they bought my modules and run them at shows. They hated seeing them idle as much as I did. |
| 10-5 17:46:17 | rvn2001 | ...letting one person decide who gets to come and who doesn't. |
| 10-5 17:45:31 | soccrdad30 | attributed to lazyness on their part |
| 10-5 17:45:28 | rvn2001 | I agree, John. |
| 10-5 17:45:02 | soccrdad30 | Horrible, decision |
| 10-5 17:44:14 | ejshelton | Very sad.... |
| 10-5 17:39:58 | rvn2001 | There won't be any Z scale layouts there according to the ad from the N.M.R.A. on Facebook. |
| 10-5 17:39:49 | ejshelton | I think you are likely right Thom |
| 10-5 17:38:55 | rvn2001 | Still, John. I'm pretty sure that we weren't approved for space. |
| 10-5 17:38:08 | soccrdad30 | Thom, are you having issues with placement at the NTS again? |
| 10-5 17:34:14 | ejshelton | ZU Joe |
| 10-5 17:33:39 | rvn2001 | Bye Joe. |
| 10-5 17:33:24 | GNFan | Bye, Joe. |
| 10-5 17:33:21 | soccrdad30 | later Joe |
| 10-5 17:33:18 | soccrdad30 | that part I do like too Thom. Have the train parked at the back of the layout and watch it as it comes around the bend |
| 10-5 17:32:49 | Guba | Z you guys later. my lunch just finished cooking. |
| 10-5 17:32:20 | rvn2001 | It's nice to be able to set the speed and just turn it on and off. |
| 10-5 17:28:03 | soccrdad30 | I am using the Rokuhan RC03 power supply |
| 10-5 17:27:51 | rvn2001 | Get them started early. |
| 10-5 17:27:04 | soccrdad30 | Yes, she did... I was teaching her 'On' and 'Off'. It was set to go once the 'On' button was pressed |
| 10-5 17:25:45 | ejshelton | I ran my battery down on my tool box. |
| 10-5 17:25:34 | rvn2001 | Did she enjoy it? |
| 10-5 17:25:12 | soccrdad30 | well, I was running it for my grand-daughter on Saturday |
| 10-5 17:23:45 | rvn2001 | See, John...that's all there is to it... |
| 10-5 17:23:41 | soccrdad30 | I have a Soo F7 pulling three boxcars |
| 10-5 17:23:07 | soccrdad30 | I will turn it on right now! |
| 10-5 17:20:43 | rvn2001 | ...and why not, John? |
| 10-5 17:20:22 | DAZed | I think Thom leads the historical ZCS train running count by a wide margin |
| 10-5 17:18:31 | soccrdad30 | I have a train on my layout, but not running it... (sorry) |
| 10-5 17:17:23 | ejshelton | Good for you Thom. |
