Are the dates for JAM 2018 known yet?

 

Is there a web site?

Bill,

 

Those are the 2017 dates. ;)

Although 2017 dates.  It is normally the same weekend every year.  Si shouldn't be too difficult to figure out 2018s dates.

August 17-19, 2018.  Now posted on the web site.

Same week as Obon.  Not a great time to visit to Japan.

I saw these photos of this coal bin module that was apparently at this years JAM, but I haven't been able to find any more photos or info about it.  Does anyone else know where I could find out more?  I'd like to do something similar on my own layout and I'd appreciate the references.

I have really enjoyed seeing these videos of 2018 JAM layouts.  Impressive how many small layouts that appear to be brought by individuals, much more than at shows in the US.   Thanks to all who shared the videos with us.

Do you Guy's know if there are any Videos which shows the new Rokuhan Z-Gauge Stuff?

 

They said, they want to show some Prototypes for 2019.

I looked but didn't see anything.  JAM is usually coverage of layouts and less about new releases.

Can anyone read the sign that shows just before the first layout in this video. I'd like to see more footage of it. Specifically, I very much like how they make their transitions between different elevations - something that I'm struggling with right now.

That's the one. I'm looking for inspiration for combining elevation/hills with development.
