Disappointing, but not unexpected.

I still on planning on coming for the 2021 show.

And I still need to make a trip to Texas  ;)  Dang Covid-19!!


I hope that you and the family make it down some time Nick.  I am definitely coming to Minnesota in 2021 regardless of COVID!

I don't know about that; it supposed to be quite bad still during 2021.

A great video Nick.

Thanks for posting.

Looks like another potential Road Trip for me. 🤠

We could talk Chris and Bill (CBWho and AirSpyder) into displaying with us and double the size of "Miniatureland"  ;)

August 28-30th, 2020?

Well, I figured it was coming...  :-\  Show officially cancelled as of today  :'(

I only know of 2 or 3 left that I plan to attend this year... Usually make it to a couple dozen

Excellent machines Nick.

What does the owner do with all of the braided loop.

Most shows I've been to, they cut chunks off and give to the kids. They make good shoe laces  ;)

Any idea what manufacturer is the hot air engine at 3:50? Maybe one part is homebuilt?

I am clueless on that one...

Nick, I'm more of a spectator at those shows... ;)

I have never displayed at a show yet, but they are getting smaller and smaller every year and there wouldn't be a show without exhibitors  ;)

That's a very nice looking railroad, I forgot they have that.  If I visit next summer, I can bring a locomotive to run, I will check it out with them.

John Barklow is who I talked with about displaying at the show, I believe his dad was one of the founders of "Miniatureland". I ended up helping them setup some stuff 2 years ago, but could only attend Friday morning for a couple hours and last year we had a baby 2 weeks before the show. We went one day as a family, but only for a couple of hours, the baby was not happy  :D

When I asked on their facebook page for John's contact information, I was given this:

Looks like a wonderful place to spend some time .... a visual feast !

Not as big as NAMES or Cabin Fever, but there's plenty of full-size equipment to make up for that. I have a video of their scale railroad to edit and upload too...

This is one of the shows I hope to display at soon as they are one of the few that will allow running toys and models on steam  8)
