Gentlemen:
I suggest an arrival at CF on friday afternoon, staying over on Saturday at the Wingate Inn. We should plan a group dinner at TGIFriday's, or wherever you like. It would be nice to hear from others about your plans so we can make our reservations soon.

zeeprogrammer · « **Reply #1 on:** February 26, 2014, 02:21:08 AM »

I don't think I can make the Friday. Current plan is to be there for the Saturday afternoon.
I hope to see everyone.
Will let you all know if plans change for better or worse.

Hi Mosey, I will be getting to Baltimore airport Friday and will be staying at Holiday Inn Express off of Hwy 83 about 15 minutes from CF. My wife and I will be getting there Saturday morning and will be there all day. Will plan on eating supper but I think Eric had something in mind so we will see when we get there. Hope to see you buddy and you to Carl.

Oky Doky, here's where I'm at. We are or were or are trying to make this trip an annual thing and make it coincide with visiting Lou's family in Virginia. I don't really know why, but, this year some of Lou's charity things she does is jacking with my plans. Ain't neither one of us giving in, so, she has graciously approved me to fly up and spend the weekend with you guys. I ain't really got that much to show and I can FedEx Zee some beans anytime. To be honest guys, (no offense Jo) a little guy time would be great. Hey, I work with 15 women. Talking bout a lonely rooster in a hen house

. We ain't settled this and I haven't decided how much the business, i.e. me is going to pitch in to her little charity thing to see that the both of us will be there with beans, BBQ, and beer, but , I'll be there, as Granddaddy used to say; Come Hell or high water or gold for a dollar. Mosey, first round's on you

. and Stan says he knows some good joints in da area, I spring for da transportation, I knows a couple a guys up dat way

. So, that's plan A, B, and bits and pieces of C.. Let me me know whut y'all are thinking. I was so damn slow composing, y'all done had two mo posts. Dave, you better drag your old butt down ( see PM). Mosey, I cooked the Sheriff's reelection BBQ, and he gave me my papers.

I only recently joined and I'm not really a model builder, but I live only about 30 miles south of York, and I plan to attend, probably Saturday afternoon. It will be good to meet some of you there, and I might be interested in getting together for dinner. I'll probably be coming alone, unless a friend or two would like to join me, and I'd consider taking Muttley with me but I don't know if he'd be allowed. I know a guy who is into model trains including live steam, and also model R/C planes, so he might enjoy the show.

My interests are mostly electronics but I'm becoming more involved with some machining, so it may be inspiring to see what can be done with a lathe, mill, and other tools combined with patience and skill. I signed up on the mailing list so I have most of the information I need.

I have a lot of surplus electronic parts and equipment, so if anyone needs anything like that, let me know, and maybe you can stop by to take some of it off my hands. I'm only a few minutes off I83 and York Rd, so it's convenient if you're coming up from Baltimore.

b.lindsey · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2014, 12:17:44 PM »

Paul, the one thing I can guarantee is that you will find it inspiring!! Just don't let it be defeating in the sense that "I could never do that." Remember we all start from the same place with little or no machining skills.

I had been planning to come again since last year, but noticed I have a conflicting event that weekend. If the conflicting event is cancelled because of rain being predicted a few days ahead of time, I'll try to make some last-minute arrangements. In any case, I've decided to go to NAMES this year in any case.

I was amazed at Brian's model engines in his thread on HSM, which I joined late last year when I needed some help for the mechanical parts of my electric lawn tractor / riding mower / utility vehicle. Prior to that I enjoyed seeing some of the reciprocating electromagnetic motors on YouTube.

Maybe I can complete my small switched reluctance motor so I can bring it along and show how it works. I guess that counts as a model engine.

And I may also build a simple electronic ignition that should produce a stronger and more precisely timed spark, and eliminate arcing and deterioration of the points in a conventional ignition system. I'll start a new thread once I get a spark coil and build a prototype. I posted a circuit and simulation in another thread.

After last night (Zee, don't even ask, close your eyes and think about it, but, don't ask) Lou and I may be working a deal. See, I really want to bring the RV and have a BBQ, bean, and a couple of brewskis luncheon for our members under the awning on Saturday. And don't tell Lou but I'm looking for a small surface grinder at the auction and I could haul it home. If this works out, I'd have me wife, dog, and own bed to sleep in. If it don't, y'all just imagine; Two rednecks, a coon ass , one from Philly, one from Jersey at a 178 MPH,a conservative from Mass., and a programmer who tells all the girls; " I'm from Missouri, that's the show me state you know." Stan or Zee, got any attorney friends?

. On a serious note. Last year was my first and I was amazed. If it can be modeled it was there and in all stages of awe inspiring examples. Fellars, rat hole some money, because you are gonna be saying; I was just going to buy one of these or hey, that's what I've been needing and that's all over the hall.

Oooh!

There are limits on Thursday. They are not supposed to let the public in until 5PM, and then only to buy tickets/buttons for Friday morning. The staff is there on Thursday setting out all the auction stuff and running the air lines. They do not allow vendors to unpack on Thursday, just to drop crates into their spaces.

This is because of the contract with the convention center- if they allow the public in on Thursday then Gary has to pay for the extra day.

I usually get there on Thursday afternoon and have wandered around a bit, but dont feel offended if they ask you to leave. This year may be worse than in previous years because the arena has a new manager, and you know how new managers have to throw their weight around.

Mosey · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2014, 02:45:07 PM »

I would like to ask how Cabin Fever works in regard to the display of models. Does one buy a table space and then put your models on display and sit there with them during the day? Who do you purchase the space from?
I have one little engine to display, so I don't need much space. This would allow me to have a place to sit when I get tired of carrying all of my new purchases around, right?
What about security, how do you keep from having your models stolen? (for people with valuable ones, not me)
Any help would be appreciated with this subject for a newby.
Mosey

philjoe5 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 28, 2014, 03:01:37 PM »

Mosey,
Table space is free and first come first served. If your model is air driven, most tables will have compressed air at 50 psi. You'll need to be able to connect with standard 1/4" pipe fittings. Space is usually plentiful even if you set up on Saturday. With one model there will be space we can fit you into.

Security hasn't been a problem as far as I know. No matter where you set up, folks around you will be willing to watch your stuff while you roam.

I set up with the Kinzers Rough & Tumble folks and we can always fit you in, plus at least one of us is always watching the displays.

Hope to see you there

Cheers,
Phil

I'm with you guys. Now, being in the food business, I like to eat where I can really sample the regions best food. This doesn't always mean the most expensive and usually it's a family joint much like my place. If we all were to visit Don, we would want FreshGulf seafood and coon ass specialties, not a chain joint, stop in my place it's all about pork, beans, and turnip greens

We go wit Stan and is it John's, Pat's, Luke's, Geno's, or Tony's huh? . Mosey, I did a little research on Jersey food, seems nobody eats there unless they are kin to the owner or are they are there to "pick up a little something for the boss"

It may be the only chance to visit the museum (a must-see). This is assuming that it will be held there. I've been to the museum ( itnis a must-see) a few times so I'll go where our group goes.
