Uh Oh! I goofed!
Last post I stated that the Coosa Valley Model Railroad Association Show was at 125 Locust Street in Gadsden, Alabama. The correct address is 210 Locust Street. The venue there is called 210 @ The Tracks. I apologize if my error has caused anyone a problem. The tracks are in fact straight out the front door near the middle of the street. The eastbound tracks cross the Coosa River on the old swing bridge. The bridge is stationary now. It used to open for river steamboats. The old depot is near the bridge and is now, I believe an office. To give a little report on the show itself, it was well done. Some vendor tables were unused. Some great layouts were operating. A lot of vintage collectibles were available. Other things were for sale as well, including pre-made modules. Some of the technology used on various layouts was cutting edge. I met some really interesting people.  I really enjoyed the trip. And as a final icing on the cake, I did visit the falls and drove a little bit on one of the country roads on top of Lookout Mountain. Back safe and sound, omscaler
