Things don't happen in a vacuum, and a 3-day RPM meet takes a lot of work from someone to do the leg work. We just don't have that out here. We certainly have lots of modelers and the West's best

Andy, I understand that is what you and other West Coasters to, but it doesn't answer the question. Why has the West Coast mainly held one day RPM events?

Eric, for the Naperville type of meets we out west get on board a plane and head out to the rest of the nation. One-days are, as you suspected, our only available meets. -Andy

Andy, Your note brings up a question that has been on my mind for several years. Where is the West Coast equivalent of the Chicago and Cocoa Beach RPM events? I’ve noticed one day events but

I'm looking for the latches that would have been on end door cars in HO scale I have some in O from Chooch, but I can't recall if they were ever done in HO Thanks -- Pierre

Andy; Actually there is an alternate airport to Orlando. Melbourne (MLB) is closer and there is no toll road from there to Cocoa Beach. Admittedly you may need to change planes to get there depending

I just checked my Ipass account and I was billed for two tolls: Beachline (0.93) and Dallas (0.80), total $1.73, which is what their Toll Road Calculator says I should owe from Semoran Road to the

Ez-pass worked for me in 2020. Didn’t make it this year. Brian J. Carlson -- Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY

About now I am quite desperate to get to an RPM meet. As one might imagine being a model rsilroader in Hawaii is a rather lonely endevour. Cocoa Beach has a lot of appeal but has several drawbacks

Fla toll roads don't or didn't take I pass or any other states pass. They know how to make a buck on the plethora of tourists that visit the state. Believe me with I pass I tried. Fenton -- Fenton

Jim; Agree. It was past time the PRRT&HS contests went away. More photos from our modelers are always great! Flip me a personal email address. Your messages are being quarantined.

If you have a tollway pass from one of the Eastern states with toll roads, Illinois in my case, you can register your rental car temporarily and bring your transponder. I did need to get a pair of

Yeah, Ed, some of those guys are real jerks. Your RI gon is fabulous! Perchance, were these conversions for coil steel/sheet service? Fine model! Elden Gatwood
