Had a great time at the fall NMRA(CID division) show in Danville, Indiana today. I had our new 3 rail group On the Spectrum 3 Railers loose lay Lionel layout running with my engines and rolling stock, many other layouts with HO, N, Z, G/gauge one in both live steam and electric(2 different clubs/groups). Plenty of trains in 2 large rooms in all scales and dealers were making deals. I had spied a pair of 2344 NYC F3's that were clean for $250, a bit more than what I brought with me. I was back by that table about 3/4 thru the show and was discussing them with a friend and mentioned they were more than I had with me to spend. He offered them to me for $185! So they headed back to my table with me. Didnt run at first, very gummed up with old grease(lots of it!) and both motor's communtators were fouled out. A quickie service had it running like a champ, I will fully degrease the mess and redo it properly now that I am home. They said around 975 thru the door or 1100 including the dealers and layout people. Not bad for a partly sunny but cold day the weekend before Thanksgiving. Hope everybody else that went to shows in your area had a great time. I know I did. Mike
