Brampton Train Show Pictures and Video!
11
As promised some pics of the show. There were quite a few layouts in operation! From Z to G, alot of N and HO obviously and some nice live steam models, although they weren't operating.
The live steam Climax is a 'ride on' loco powered by coal and weighs 55 pounds. The larger Shay weighs 400 pounds, also coal fired, and uses that special dolly to move it around - it's transported by truck!
The Heljan container crane was really cool, I got a long video of the guy moving a container around with it. The videos will be up later since they take longer to process.
I think I am going to exhibit some of my trains next year, since there was a distinct lack of European modeling going on, save for the small Z scale layout presented.
Enjoy!

Forgot to mention, those big live steamers at the end are built from plans - no kits. Just drill presses, lathes, and milling machines. Not to mention the thousands of hours involved

Yeah, I think those cranes are in the neighborhood of $400

Surely there must be some in NH
Usually around Xmas (well Nov really) there are some train shows, there are up here anyways which I will be going to. Here's a NH one in January:
Greenberg's Train & Toy Show
Manchester, New Hampshire (January 17-18)
Are you near Manchester at all?

I used a digital camera as well with a 2GB card. Once you put them on youtube the quality degrades but other than that it's a good way to get some footage.Wow that is way cool with the videos etc thanks a lot
Hopefully I will be going to our local show next month and maybe get some low quality videos while I am there. I am using a camera so they won't be as good as yours are.
Thanks again for the share
What show are you going to?
Go to the show, take some pics It's fun, and if you meet up with another member of the site that would be cool! But of course you don't have to
