We will be in attendance with 5 8ft. tables full of new and used Lionel, MTH, Atlas, Bachmann! Stop and check out what we have and be sure to say hi!
Visiting this magnificent active century-old New York Central Union Station is reason alone to come to the train show. Picking up that must-have item on my sales tables inside this magnificent station makes a good day for all!

I'm going. Hoping to see some collectibles first-hand, though the stuff I'm looking for doesn't show up at shows all that often from what I'm told. Should be fun either way though.
It's a great show. I went every year when living in upstate NY, and always came home with something.
That looks like a really neat building, too bad I am 1200 miles away. 
Good luck with your sales at the show, hope it's a good one.
What is the likelihood of any early Ives stuff showing up? Even if it ends up being out of my price range I'm hoping to see some stuff.
Has anyone started repair work on the NYC 0-6-0 that was there and damaged awhile back in a "run away" car episode?

Well......you never know what you may find! I am starting to downsize my personal vintage collection, so I will have some of it at the show. I am letting go some vintage Lionel 2800 series freight cars, and some other tinplate cars that are in original excellent plus condition. I have also decided to let go several postwar items that are scarce. Scarcity was the only reason I kept them when they walked into the store. It was fun having and taking care of them. I don't believe I will have any Ives stuff ready for this show. I'm not ready to let all my Ives stuff go, just yet. A tinplate Marx Glendale station and operating crossing gate with all the accessories will be on the sales table too.

Would you happen to have any really early Ives stuff you'd be willing to bring for show-and-tell? I'd like to at least see some early steamers (electric or clockwork) and some early 50 series cars even if I can't buy anything. Pictures on the internet only teach you so much and so far I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on anything to start a collection until I at least see a couple of these items in person first.
