tracker7Yesterday, tegyrius and I headed off to Louisville for the Great Train Expo. I was good, and didn't buy anything, but there were many, many locomotives to tempt me. Several operating layouts were on display, including a good-sized LEGO setup, but my favorite was easily the monster modular layout that the Kentucky Society of N-Scalers presented. At one point, to show the cool stuff you can do with N scale and a large modular layout, they had a coal train running that was close to 60 feet long. Scaled up, that's better than a mile of train.
After the show, we wound our way to The Louisville Game Shop for a little while. Good, as always, to see Colin, and throw some money his way. I finally found a copy of World on Fire, and again exercised restraint by not buying two other books.
Now, it's time to work on some games.

There are better places for resources to be expended.
