The LSR Alamo Rails convention was a blast!



Well I am back from the LSR convention held by the folks in San Antonio. What a blast it was! Many thanks to the crew from SAMRA for a great time and very well run convention. I spent many hours in the contest room, going to clinics and visiting some really cool sites in San Antonio. One of the days was spent at the Wimberly, Blanco, and Southern live steam railroad. My first trip to such an event and I am totally hooked on it. This railroad was off the charts in quality, here are a few pictures of the locomotives there....

The detail on these locomotives was amazing.

A wonderful day and convention from beginning to end. I faired really well in the contest room as well, stay tuned for the next posting from my workbench for the models I built for the contest this year.
