Amherst......? Ohio? Where?
This is the one in Springfield Massachusetts next weekend. I'll be there!
I plan to be at the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby show in West Springfield, Massachusetts next weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Will stop at the OGR table when I arrive and be back there again at 2 PM when OGR people will meet for a picture. Best show I have ever attended.
MELGAR
I will be there with a crew from the club
I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. So much to see at this big show. Right now the weather forecast is looking clear with high temps of 38F. 
I'll try to be at the OGR booth in the Better Living Center building for the 2pm meet up on Sat.
I will be there.
I will be there on Saturday only. The Big E is a great show, and it has become my substitute for York. Leaving at 6:30 am, it is a 3-hour drive from South Setauket, Long Island.
MELGAR, I guess you have never been to York.
I will be there on Saturday.
We will be there. Section 64, Better Living Center. Safe travels all.
If the weather is good, I will go. I live 90 miles away.
Ben, keep me posted on what we talked about last week in Jersey.
See you all on Saturday. No snow or below freezing temps this year.
Hi
Will be there on Sunday from 9 until my feet or wallet gives out.
My work travels will take me to Boston for the next two weeks so I would like to check it out.
I absolutely LOVE the Big E.
The Big E (Me) will be there with Ginny, EZMike Lauria and NYCFan (Skip Natoli)
Ogre Modeling will be there providing structures for sale, custom building services, our own LED bendable pan style lighting, kits for LED headlights/ tail lights in 1/43 to 1/50 vehicles. OGR members get a 10% discount on their total bill. We are one of the forum sponsors. Stop by and say hello...you may just walk away with something to enhance your layout.
I'll be there but I guess that's a given

Ya Gary it is!
I have been to this show in the past, a few times. Lots of HO and 3-Rail. It is a huge show.
However, hardly any 2-rail O-Scale from my visits.
Has any of this changed?
Can't wait The Big E is always fun.
Will be there Sat. . Tough to cover in a day now seeing the list of vendors keeps expanding and I'm moving slower. Great show to pick up details, modeling supplies and prototype info. .
The wife and I will be arriving Friday morning to help Tim and Lynn Foley set up the Mianne Custom Benchwork booth (as we do at York). The Big E has a much different flavor to it's show than York. More Family orientated and much more diverse exhibitors. A large number of exceptional modular layouts to be seen and appreciated. Yes, there is allot of other than O gauge presented but the "idea's" can be gauge adapted.
I'll be going...probably on Saturday. Always look forward to it!
We will be there, looking forward to it always a fun event.
I am going
it is my first train show. I am interested to see what there is
Here is the other Amherst post.

Tom, My findings are like yours...once you plow endlessly through the massive N scale, HO scale, and 3 Rail stuff this show becomes a LOT SMALLER...and the sporadic displays of 2 Rail stuff is no longer worth the trip for me. Loved this show as an HO modeler long ago.
A five hour drive from midcoastal Maine....but worth the road trip. Haven't been there in 5 years. Looking forward to this weekend.
I remember freezing in an impossibly long line then. Two boths open for tickets. This year the temps will be approaching 40 if the meteorological data is plausible! I bought my entrance wrist band ahead of time this year. Have a safe trip and great time everyone.
I feel like a kid again!
Two booths open for bands.
I think the only thing I am not looking forward to is trying to find my car at 5pm!
Then inching out of the lot! Lol....all good.
Tom, and Flanger, the 2017 O scale convention is in Connecticut this year! Yahh!
