We know this is going to be an adjustment Jason. Can you not get all of your supplies in there before the show starts? Do you have a secure area to store things like your tools, and steam cylinder oil, supplies, etc? We have a few oil sheds around the grounds for things like this, albiet not in miniature land. Perhaps that is a need that needs to be addressed.
As far as a pickup in miniature land... this is mostly personal, but I think there are far too many vehicles parked in exhibit areas on the show grounds. Except in extreme cases, they should all be out in the workers parking area... not in exhibit areas, or in the campgrounds. We already have rules (largely ignored) that prohibit vehicles in the workers campgrounds during show time. EVERYONE who violates this that we talk to has some excuse. My vehicles... tools and all... are in workers parking from Thursday AM until Monday PM... and I am a steam engineer operating Jim's 40 avery.
What it comes down to is that we all need to work to make our show better, and our exhibit areas cleaner, and more appropriate. Like Tim said...

I know that I'm an able bodied person, and will stay out of the roped off areas this year, and just 'pack-mule' around the video equipment in these areas. (I need the exercise anyways)
I will be following the rules as well, and heaven knows the excercise will not hurt me any. There will be a map available soon to let all know where the routes are (and the off limit areas) and where the parking area are. Again, this is only going to be in effect from about 6 or 7 AM until 5 or 6 PM. After that you can ride in the restricted areas.
Please find a way to cooperate, and make this work.
