Western Prototype Modelers Meet 2006

Saturday October 7, 2006, the Western Prototype Modelers Meet was held for the 17th year in La Habra, CA. We had a crowd of about 165 plus the staff and exhibitors. The increased space allowed for more room between the raised tables. Five great Clinics were presented in a separate room, by Ken Edmier, Mike Rose, Tim Frederick, Chad Hewett, and Gene Fusco.

We had over 685 models, two Free-mo Modular layouts in both HO & N. Manufacturers present included Athearn, Rail Yard Models, Atlas, Details West, BLMA, A-Line PPW and Historical Societies of the Santa Fe Penn Central and ELHS.

On behalf of the WPM committee: Tim Costello, Tom Bacarella, Joe DElia, Chris Palomarez, Thom Anderson, Don DeLay and myself, I want to express our thanks. See you next year.

I just saw a photo posted here of a model that was built by Carlos Gasparini. I was a very good friend of Carlos over 20 years ago until I went off to the Army and lost contact with him. If anyone knows how to contact Carlos please do me a favor and ask him to email allen@allenrockwellphoto.com or allen@ammodel.com Thanks, Allen Rockwell

Dave, Great work! You can send all your freight cars to me! Best Regards

Beautiful stuff and a lot of great talent represented here. Is this show restricted to HO and other small gauges or is it an open show. How would an outsider like myself enter and gain info re: the show and updates......?? Any response would be appreciated. Mac

Thanks for taking the pictures. Regret couldn't be there. What scale are Ed Martin's reefers? - Phil Clark, ALTON, UK.
