The show has completely sold out. We have had to put a former Simpson Timber Co speeder (I would call it a rail bus because of its size) outside to make room for layouts and sellers.

A couple of changes to note. The LEGO group and the N scale switching layout had to cancel. In their place we substituted a Swiss Bemo HO meter gauge layout and squeezed a few more sellers' tables in for sellers on our standby list. I was just informed that another layout is planning to come. Where we will put it I have no idea.

Hope to see you at the show and down at the Lewis County Historical Museum.
