2012 Strasburg O Scale Show – October

I attended the Fall Strasburg Show today. I have to say that was a good show today for me. I got the chance to catch up with a lot of folks today and I came home with a lot of stuff. I hope everybody else there also had a good show.

There were lots on new things to see and learn about today. RCS America was at the show demonstrating their new Raillinx System. I was impressed with their system and the way it was installed on their sample models. Dead Rail is getting closer to being a reality.

I also got to look at the new Weaver Milwaulkee Boxcar. Bob Hiel had a pilot model from Weaver on his table today. Below are images of the car:

One thing I always enjoy about going to a Strasburg Show, is just being in the Amish country. Even their parking lot are fun to look at.

    • Gene,
      I was not impressed with the car. Is it a starting point?

      The roof had what looks like two raised areas per panel. I thought the roof should have been one raised area with two higher areas across the car. More like the Rails Unlimited roof.

      I really did not like the end of the cars. I thought the darts on the ends were kind of cut off at the curve.

      Since it is a 10′ 6″ IH car I was hoping it might be a starting point to convert it into other cars. I really don’t think this one is.

      George
