Sportsplex Show November, 2002

Below is a collection of photos of the 2002 Sportsplex train show in Darthmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.  N.A.B.S. was once again invited to attend and out on a display.  There were over 20 models of all types, both under construction and veterans.  There were two TV's playing combat videos of recent events and a pump demo set up by John Coffil.  Bismarck and Scharnhorst put on a firing demo in the center of the display as did North Carolina on the side of the display.  The ships in attendance were as follows: IJN Yamato, IJN Nagato(Steve), IJN Nagato(Tom), IJN Mogami, DKM Bismarck, DKM Scharnhorst, DKM Lutzow, HSK EMS, HSK Komet(Chris), HSK Komet(John), DBM Vittorio Veneto, DBM Roma, HMS Hood, HMS Gorgon, HMS Warspite, HMS Nelson, HMS Sheffield, HMS Newcastle, HMS Malaya, HMS Cumberland, HMS Erubus, SS Pundua, USS North Carolina, SS Point Pleasant Park.  If I missed a ship just email me and I'll make the correction.  Click on the small photos to view the full size.  Hope you will enjoy them!
