Contest Room
The Contest Room wasn't swamped with entries, but the quality of those presented was outstanding as in years past. Here are a few pictures of some of the models that caught my eye as I wandered about...
Photo 1 - Bill Meredith's beautiful K-27, in the original Vauclain compound configuration. Bill took 1st Place for engines.
Photo 2 - One of two small 'critters' built by Dave Kreitler.
Photo 3 - Bill Busacca's RGS 0400 for which he won 1st Place Caboose.
Photo 4 - A view of the interior of Bill Busacca's RGS 0400. You have to love the guy sitting below, reading a magazine!
Photo 5 - Another Bill Busacca model, of the Dolores depot. This was kitbashed from two Ophir depot kits, plus some scratchbuilt sections as well. Bill presented a clinic on weathering, in which he shared many of the techniques that he employed in finishing this model which won 1st Place Structures.
