Great pics Gil!!
I recognize a couple of those auction pieces already on eBay :D
Oh yeah, two of them are on the same table, and I think the smaller one showed up here
in the eBay listings with an extra hole cut. I want the other one.

Yes, they are up there. Looks like they are making out good on these items.
The 20-G will not resurface as our young friend Miller got it.

Fabulous videos and photos, Gil. Is this show just once a year? Is there a web site with info for exhibitors/table holders?

And.... Brent brought his spectacular huge Marklin Steam & Electric powered workshop.

In this picture they are getting ready to put it back in it's custom travel crate.

First up... a great dinner at Isaac's, a new place near our hotel.
On the right side:
Arnold Wile
Joe & Dorothy Higgins
Yours truly Gil & Simone (Mrs. RedRyder)
On the left side:
Mackenzie (Howard Shoe's granddaughter)
Tom Rumley (Howard's best and lifelong friend)
Amanda (Howard's daughter)
Gary (Howard's son in law)
None of us knew that they were coming so it was a great surprise to see Tom Rumley walk in and to meet Amanda and her family.
Tom brought with him the earliest known Jensen Big Power Plant that has a D-Valve engine and seam on the bottom of the boiler and a blow down valve on the front.
They also brought pictures of Howard to have a memorial display in his honor. They loved when they found I had brought an early Big Power Plant and displayed it with a placard saying "Remembering Howard Shoe".

Here is the D-Valve Jensen.

When Tom came in and surprised us I moved my display pieces closer together to make room for him. There was no extra exhibitor space this time around.
Here is Tom's display and tribute to Howard:
