A nice ’shelf’ layout featuring trams, trams and more trams. HO (or possibly OO) scale. During one of my pacing shot attempts I spent too much time watching the tram and not enough time watching where I was going and almost knocked over another person trying the same thing from the other end of the layout! Filmed at Box Hill exhibition 2004.
A beautiful summer afternoon in Westwood, NJ at the NAXTrans facility which hosted a meeting of the GRRNNJ. John W. brought his impressive New Haven engine and his recently modeled work train consist. A gorgeous layout as this brief video reveals. Many thanks to Nick who is the CEO and President of the NAXTrans facility for use of his right of way and to John W. who is Superintendent of GRRNNJ for running his fine looking New Haven work train.

Ray and Bubbles travel to Maine to recycle shopping carts and to attend a model train convention and meet heavy metal singer Sebastian Bach, but when Ray gets busted for soliciting a prostitute, Ricky and Julian have to travel to Maine to pick up Bubbles. After having been left stranded in a phone booth at the truck-stop where Ray was arrested until Ricky and Julian could reach him, Bubbles suffers a mental breakdown, and ends up stealing “Patrick Swayzie’s” (contrary to popular belief, Patrick Swayze has no affiliation with Trailer Park Boys, and a disclaimer to that effect has been placed before the opening credits for all Series 7 episodes starting with this one) Model Train, The Swayzie Express. After the convention the boys camp overnight in the parking lot, and party with Bach, who declares an interest in buying more of Ricky’s dope, and gives them his number.
