"Big" G Gauge Trains at Big E: 2019 Amherst Railroad Hobby Show

2019 marks the first time in two long years visiting the Amherst Railroad Hobby Show in West Springfield, Massachusetts. This year was a lot like the last few, although attendance was on the slight upswing with over 21,000 guests combined between the two days. Just as with the previous time I exhibited at the 1:13.7-scale Western Wiscasset & Northern modular layout. So please enjoy the footage of this famous annual train show.

Too bad the fire marshal prohibited live steam. Great looking layout(s).
Greetings from Utah.

Nice great work

[@TristanMorrow]

The 7/8n2 trains are excellent!

[@ecoRfan]

Thanks so much Tristan. I exhibited with that 7/8n2 layout. It was a lot of work but it's really appreciated by people who get photos and videos, or give such compliments.

[@TristanMorrow]

@@ecoRfan I'm not used to seeing the big trains on an indoor style layout -- gardens, mostly. This looks like fun! :-) Hope it was well received at the show, and thanks for sharing!

[@ecoRfan]

Tristan Morrow for the most part G-gaugers like me run our trains on garden railways. For Springfield we exhibit them on modular layouts.
So yeah I can see what you mean: usually these trains run in gardens and backyards, not inside.

I was hoping to see a live steam loco, but no dice. They sell G scale kits in the UK.

[@ecoRfan]

Fire marshal wouldn't allow it... but I have other vids with lots of live steamers
