BLOG entry #02: BIG Train Show newZ, part 2 (Miller Engineering)

Dear fellow Valeasians,

The first stop on my round of interviews was at the Miller Engineering booth where I met a smiling and enthusiastic Chris Miller. The booth was brightly adorned with an array of illuminated and animated signs and kits. Chris is well-known in the Z community for his line of etched-brass American-profile structures (Victorian houses, gas station, barn, etc.). His most recent and very successful line is comprised of animated signs for most scales including Z. I picked up a small electro-luminescent experimenter kit. I have a spot all picked out on the Val Ease Central for an industrial sign.

Micro-Engineering's Chris Miller
Chris Miller stands “behind” his new line of Desk Top Neon signs. Z modelers will enjoy his electro-luminescent experimenter kits.

His “Desk Top Neon” line is simply incredible in its detail and animations. Chis is very excited about this line which is being sold across the country via distributors and by direct sales. Chris has been in business for 10 years and is very upbeat about the prospects for further growth of the scale and for his business in the model-railroading and scale diorama hobby sectors. Miller Engineering is a recognized leader in innovative products and the new signs are truly ground-breaking.

Best regards,
Jeffrey
