I got to visit the Atlantic County 4H Train Meet on Saturday April 29th. We went to the back door by mistake and immediately ran into 3 folks I was acquainted with from the Railwire forum, It was great to see the faces of people I had only known via the internet.

They were there selling off David K Smith's vast stock of old N gauge equipment and buildings at fantastic prices. If I hadn't been chatting with them I would have gotten a Minitrix K4 for $15 but a few people ahead of me bought them in multiple quantities and wiped out the stock before I had a chance.
I had hoped to get to meet DKS so I could personally thank him for doing a track plan illustration for an N Scale Magazine article I published years ago but alas he was not in attendance. I did get to see some of his handiwork. Cody now has possession of his Trenton Transportation Company masterpiece:

This is a sight you do not usually get to see: a freight train volcanic disaster:
