Photos from the 2008 St. Louis RPM Meet, hosted by Dan Kohlberg, Lon Bathurst and John Golden at the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville, Illinois on 15 & 16 August 2008. 200 attendees enjoyed the meet, and brought 1000 models for display. We provided 120+ door prizes, including locomotives from Athearn, Walthers/Proto 2000 and Intermountain. We provided 65 tables for vendors and historical societies, an operating FreeMo layout, and 38+ tables for models brought by attendees for display.

Clinincs were provided by Ed Hawkins, Tony Sissons, Dan & John Kohlberg, Dave Roeder, Brian McQuitty, Mont Switzer, Chad Hewitt, Pete Smith, Stan Rydarowicz, Clark Propst and Mike Moore, and Frank Angstead of Intermountain. A pre-RPM tour of the Gateway Rail Services facility in Madison, IL was also provided for attendees arriving early.
