Trainfest 2002

I originally posted these pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008. I have rescanned them.

Trainfest, a model train show sponsored by the Wisconsin Southeastern Division of the National Model Railroad Association and the Model Railroad Industry Association (now the Model Railroad Division of the Hobby Manufacturers Association) is billed as the America's largest operating model railroad show, and indeed, it is comparable to the National Model Railroad Association's National Train Show and the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour show in that it features not only layouts and vendors, but also manufacturers. The show is traditionally held in November.

I didn't take many pictures at Trainfest 2002. These pictures were all taken on the Milwaukee School of Engineering Society of Model Engineers alumni Overland Western Lines HO-scale modular layout.
