Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

2009 East Coast Meet Update


The 2009 East Coast Meet is now history and all in attendance would, we think, deem it an unqualified success! We'll be featuring some of the spectacular modeling and new products on display in West Springfield over the January 24th weekend in upcoming Photo Galleries but for now we'll share just a glimpse of one of the new modelers we meet this weekend. The garage diorama above is just a small sample of the extraordinary modeling of Hungarian modeler Balazs Borbely who came over for the meet. We will certainly be sharing more of Balazs' work and that of just about everyone who had models on display in the near future.

For now, we'd like to thank everyone who made it to the show and brought models for display. A very special thanks go to Glenn Williams and Steve Del Sesto for their help and support in organizing the event and keeping things moving along! Also a special thanks go to those manufacturers represented at the show: Athearn, Classic Mint Collectibles, Custom Finishing Models, Lonestar Models, Newgard Model Industries, River Point Station, Sheepscot Models, Sylvan Scale Models, and Zycon Models. Please start making plans to join us next year at the 2010 East Coast Meet to be held on January 30-31, 2010. It's going to be much bigger and better next year! [posted 02/01/2009]
