#32 Chilliwack in October - 70'

We setup Friday the 18. We ran Saturday 19 and Sunday 20. As usual due to work I was only able to be there on the Friday and the Sunday.
Most things ran well. Voyteks 0-6-0 would not run. I bought it. My new TT-Scale heavyweight passenger cars would not behave.
Other than those minor issues, things ran well. Due to the length of the layout, it takes two pictures to show the display.

#33 VTE in November 9 and 10, 2019

We setup on Friday the 8th, ran the 9th and 10th, teardown on the 10th.
A great display. Everybody made it: myself, Tibi, Terry and Graeme,Voytek, Richard and his wife Katalin, and Xenia.
Except for the Dual Frog juicer on one end loop acting up, things ran well. We had a couple of good dinners.
Richard had equipment to sell. Terry had his first Tllig/Lionel F3 conversion runing. It ran well. We will do a few more conversions.
We had new blue table covers for all our tables. They looked great. Much better than the cheap plastic table covers we used to tape
to the tables.
Overall Vancouver Train Expo 2019 was a great success as a show. The best VTE ever.
