Show Photos — Early Years

Before digital cameras became commonplace, our shows went largely unphotographed. These galleries from 1998 and 1999 capture the layouts, modules, and visitors at the Upper Valley Model Railroad Show in its early years at Lebanon High School. Click any photo to view full size.

1998 Show — April 4, 1998

A typical rail industry scene — how many did you spot? Backpackers still by the mountain station Great scene! Awful photographer. Does it bring back memories? Looking through the foliage... Driscoll Rail's Hotshot leaves Lebanon (those are cafeteria benches, not skyscrapers!) Concord members can really detail a locomotive!
