AWESOME Lynn ,
I was hoping that you could make it and that you can do Sunday too , that's great . No worries , we have discussed this security thing and of course we have to pick at least 2 or more guys at a time for that.
I figured you would be one of them doing the late night / graveyard deal , cool .
The staying late shouldn't be a problem for some of us , including myself ( heck at my place we always play till 4:00 am or 5:00 am in the mornings , Lol )
it keeps looking better for the Sunday play-day !

Lynn - you won't be alone - I plan to log as many hours as I can handle. I'm figuring to order up some pizza for my night shift action

Just think - maybe we could have some night running for those with lights.......

The “night-running” is something I had in mind too .
Was thinking about to rig up some of my LGB street lights for battery-power ,
That would be a need deal to illuminate the warehouse or other work-areas for night action

Night-action is always fun !

Chris , here you see also a couple of these train-buildings I was talking about the other day and for night illumination I use battery-powered closet-lights

I like the night-action & photography , easier to hide obstacles which shouldn’t be in the picture , or at least not as easy to catch for the average viewer

[rcguyfarms]

I will be there sometime Friday around noon and not leaving until late Sunday evening. I am ready for some nighttime rc trucking by headlights and chicken lights.

I think I have been on some of your photo sites before. Bravo, I want to do some night photography and video of my dragline someday.
I want to come to Indy someyear but I will need to have a big pile of dirt to play in.

Can someone give some details on the auction shown on the PMD flyer for Saturday night? What is sold, who is selling it, do you need to have cash-in-hand, etc?

Although my budget is tight (which means non-existent unless I like sleeping on the couch - which could be worth it ) I still have some items I am looking for and I am always a sucker for a good deal. Auctions are a good deal, right?

How about trading? If I bring spare parts are there folks there with spare parts they want to trade for?

Thanks in advance - looking forward to meeting some of you who have helped me out so much already.

That auction doesn’t have anything to do with us .
That auction is a part of the Toy-Truck’n-Construction show .
The flyer is done by Toytrucker , to cover the entire show/event weekend ,
not just us R/C trucker’s , we are just a part of this show .
In those auctions you find mainly diecast models in all scales .
Check out www.toytrucker.com to get an idea
and here is the actual auction-listing :
http://www.aumannauctions.com/index.php?subp=1&sct=2&pg=ap&pid=20794

as far as selling and trading in between us R/C truckers , yeah , I would say there are always some items changing hands during this event. But I don’t think that anything would change hands for dumping prices , we all know what this stuff cost , therefore ,
if anything get’s sold or purchased , I would say it’s done by fair value .
What most of us mostly buy are some parts or even complied kits from Ric ,
but for that you better bring a full wallet , since quality has it’s price .

[CrimsonCorsair]

Thanks for the info. I am not looking to pay an unfair price for anything, sorry if it came off sounding like that. See you Saturday.

[Izzy]

Michael - no issue - many bring parts just for on the spot repairs - others bring what they don't need to either sell or nearly give away. And as willy pointed out - a complete model of varrying degrees of detail could be purchased.

Fir some - anything they have is for sale for the right price - others no matter the price it's not for sale.

Hope to meet you there.....
