We have some special attractions for you. Some of them may have been mentioned elsewhere on this site, however, we want to make sure to point them out to you.

Raffle of Richard Meixner's Structure Model

Richard, who builds structure models professionally, has generously donated a structure model to the O Scale Kings. The convention will raffle the model and turn the proceeds over to the O Scale Kings. Richard sells via eBay. You can see his auctions if you search for items under the seller ID of "ramtext" (without the quotes). The structure can be viewed and raffle tickets purchased at the Company Store; complimentary DVDs showing Richard's products can be obtained by request at the Company Store.
