The convention is only 10 days away! Only a week until local layout visits start. Remote (Grand Tour) layout visits start next Friday the 25th. The convention is looking very good. Pre-registrations are very high, table sales are 1/3rd higher than O Scale West's best year, hotel room rentals are very high, and everybody Rod talks to says they know several people who are intending to come. Compared to O Scale West, the convention will be much larger. Should be a great time! If you are on the fence about coming, think hard about what you are going to miss by not coming, and come!

The registration page was updated to explain why late pre-registrations are discouraged. You alternative is to register as a walkup.

Note on the weather. It has been cool in the evenings, so a sweater is recommended. Of course all that could change by the time of the convention and if it does you may not need a sweater. However, it is better to have something you don't need rather than need something you don't have.
