Best deal I saw was about 6 Lionel Pennsy freight sets at one dealer for $99. each. All I bought was a $5. video, but the big draw for me is the HamFam Breakfast with the OGR Group.

My first time at an Allentown show yesterday, absolutely great. A lot of good deals to be had and nice to see strong attendance. A lot of people carrying out bags. I got the Lionel legacy CN Dash9 for $325 and my brother got the original B&O Budd 3 car SS set NIB $175.

Thank you Allentown Train Meet Associates for another great First Frost. Just looking at all the kid's faces on Saturday was worth the price of admission. With big department store layouts a thing of the past this train meet offers the pre-Christmas joy for today's youngsters and an opportunity to see for perhaps the first time a toy train layout in action.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Jane Boyce, TCA Director of Development.
The gal who did the live radio remote broadcast left with a Lionel Polar Express set in hand. Oh well, there goes the talent fee.

Ditto Chuck,

 

As always the ATMA were great hosts for the show, picked up trains and books! This was my first Breakfast at the Ham Fam as I'm always with Kathy but she couldn't make the Frost this year due to family commitments. (she would never get up that early). That said I had a great time at the diner, great food as well. 

 

Chuck thanks!

 

Lehighline I will post pix of the Breakfast on that thread ASAP. I too left before the group photo, but I checked with Ed Boyle to make sure there was a camera on hand for the shot.

 

I hope to see all of you guys at Trainstock!
