Thanks for the reply. I don’t drink, but if you or anyone else would like to meet up at Cabin Fever that would be great! I’m planning to be there Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon (January 16 to 18). The show is a lot of fun.

It is the model engineering show. Basically it is a huge group of people that create & machine scaled down versions of v-8 motors that run to stationary steam engines to air compressors plus there is a swap meet. I might have pictures of a few of these from the Toledo show. It is amazing. . . I was impressed. . . John I will PM with some additional info as well.

Here is the official site:
http://www.cabinfeverexpo.com/
There is a huge auction on Friday with everything from hand tools, machine tools, model steam engines, whistles, even a 16 inch gauge locomotive. Bring your trailer! They have forklifts on hand for loading.
The show itself is a stadium size event on Saturday and Sunday. There are rows of model stationary engines running on compressed air. Many are amazing, hand built, works of art. There is also a pond for miniature steam boats and submarines! G scale live steamers also run around temporary tracks. A lot of people who go to Rough and Tumble over the summer come here in the winter. There is also a sales area that draws all sorts of cool stuff. People come from all over the country to attend, so if you can get there, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
