Shows: Boeing '06

Every year the Boeing Model Railroad Club in the Seattle, Washington area sponsors a railroad show that features a significant amount of railroadiana. This is the biggest event of its kind in the Pacific Northwest and is held every year in early November. Here are two pages of photos of the 2006 show; the link to the second page is at the bottom of this page. Some of these photos were generously provided by Bill Kajdzik and are also shown on the Boeing Model Railroad Club website. Other photos were taken by Paul Koren and are shown here for the first time.
