For the NTS2004 show in Seattle, Tom did a repaint on 17 Amtrak cars.

We are always trying to inovate. Here is Andy's Scooter Train...not always all that easy to run in traffic.

Andy also build a "Z-Bench" that he has used with the modules and stand-alone. It is a test and repair station
during the shows.
