Off to D23

August 14, 2015 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off on Off to D23

Off to D23!  This is The Walt Disney Company’s event for their fans. We share a booth, as last time, with Michael Broggie, author of Walt Disney’s Railroad Story. This event has happened every two years for the past several. Although Disney does not say how many attend, it’s a gazillion!

I will have TWO new products not yet announced, for release at this fun event. So watch the web site in about a week for them to post up.  Otherwise, it is a surprise. Maybe you can make it to the Anaheim Convention Center this weekend. The rest of the world will be there……

Stop by and say hi!

Here is a photo from the last event in 2013.

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”.  And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks.  I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.

Lowell, thanks to you and your company SP&S modelers (myself included) are having a much easier time modeling the North Bank Road. Thank you for your hard work!

Paul G.

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

Blunt End Observation is a GRAND SLAM! I’ve wanted this car for ages but never figured out a good way to kitbash it.

Jim and Jo Ann K.

Every aspect of the trip was professionally done.  You and Barbara were on top of every change and your matter-of-fact assurances speak highly of your professionalism.  Jo Ann is a retired chef  and we know what good food is, and the meals provided on the CZ trip were stellar! BRAVO to you and Barbara for…

Jeff B.

Keep up setting the bar high and providing a product that exceeds expectations.

Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!

What a trip! We had a great time- exceeded our expectations by a mile. The Silver Lariat was simply stunning. A gem on the rails. The scenery and weather were perfect. The delays were not an issue for us at all. All just a good days work on the railroad! Thank you for all the…

So glad our big Alaska trip happened when it did.  It was the trip of a lifetime for me and Nina, thank you so much for organizing it.
