TECO Model Train Show
by admin on Apr.14, 2019, under Colorado
There was a train show at the Chapel Hills Mall today; who could resist! TECO stands for Train Expo Colorado, and as the name suggests, they do shows like this across Colorado. It was better than I expected. About 1/2 the floor space was operating layouts, the rest was vendor tables (including a guy selling full-size windows). I expected fewer layouts but was pleasantly surprised.
The Susquehanna boxcar (N scale) took me back to where both my parents went to school, Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, PA. It’s along a river by the same name, Susquehanna River. I bought it for $10.
There’s still a railroad with the name it: the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway.

The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
