GVRR show

[pbmaxno15]

Is anyone going to the GVRR show this Sunday? I have never been to this show before. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice? I am looking for O gauge stuff. Would this show be worth my time or is it mostly HO and N? I will be coming down M-53 if anyone is interested in sharing a ride.

I'll be there all day at the Franklin Range Division N scale. I know OaklandCountyCustoms will be there selling some stuff.

I'll be showing up, I'll probably be wearing my Conrail flag hat if anyone wants to look for me!

It is 10-4 on Sunday. Location is the Macomb Community College Sports and Expo Center. Corner of 12 mile and Hayes in Warren. http://www.gvrr.org for more information.

i d like the gtw pass cars could you post a picture

the gt shell what type paint does it have and what manafacture

[BerkshireKid]

OCC you got a PM from me.

[OaklandCountyCustoms]

Astro, they are standard AHM type passenger cars, exactly like the CN's but with a GT noodle. I did not paint them, but the person that got me into painting did, and he did a great job. I'm sorry but they are all packed away and won't be able to get a picture up tonight. The shell is athearn and is a complete loss. I bought it off ebay recently off a picture that was taken from a distance and looked "ok." This shell is perfect for stripping and repainting.
