Attended the TCA's Atlantic Division train show today in South Philly. The show was very well attended and the selling was brisk. It was my observation that I have never noticed so many vendors literally begging attendees to relieve them of their pre-war and post-war offerings. What a difference 20 years makes.

Amazing how times have changed...walking around the same show 35 years ago (it was at Westover CC then) people went there to get the premium prewar and postwar stuff...and next to York that was the place to go !
I was over there today, I usually make it to that show. Didn’t really get much, but I did grab some of the Matchbox cars from the couple in the corner. Love those models, and they were cheap enough that I can put them on my layout.
It just seems to me that it is the worst show for guys standing in the aisles chatting. Makes it pretty tough to get near the tables at times. Heck, the four guys sitting together with their chairs backed up to the table made that whole section off limits. No idea if there was anything I’d want to see. 😏
