Big E is the best show going.

Sean, it was great to meet you in person at the show. I'm sure you talked to a lot of people, but I'm the guy originally from northeastern PA now living in MA. I was with my wife and 7-yr. old son. I told you that I made my first purchase from you (MTH Erie Geeps) based on all the good things I read here on the Forum. Thanks for taking the time to talk!

Don,

Ben was saying that he was selling off pieces of his display at the show... I didn't know he was talking about you!

Sean,

Glad we got a chance to say "hi" to you at the show!

Ed

Don't let Eddie G see this.

I like York but the expense of going to York keeps me from going. Only live a few miles away for this one.

this is the type of show that will keep model railroading going strong into the 21 first centry , you have top of the line dealers,with state of the art equipment , it is great to see families with small kids,with there faces beeming with joy.this is my 4 year going and it just keeps geeting better,it it well planned , big crowds are not a problem,and you dont here kids saying can we go home now. techman

My only complaint was all those Patriot shirts, what's that about Big Grin

Sean I'm surprised you say that? Didn't I buy this in your booth?

The show is actually in Massachusetts. I don't think you will find many Jets or Giants shirts. I was wearing one of the many Patriots shirts. It was a great show but I was disappointed in the absence of Lionel. It was great to see a lot of kids in attendance.

Not to start a fight but theres no way new england is gonna beat the giants and i am not a giant fan..

Chris,
Start mixing up as batch of green and white paint for next year as the Jets are guaranteeing a Super Bowl in 2013 and Rex said that!

Good luck this coming Sunday-it's going to be a good matchup!

I was standing next to Sean most of the time and I saw alot of Giants hats and Jerseys. Or was it Greg and Erika circling the booth?

It was a great show. I love all those layouts. I didnt get to roam around much I enjoyed it when I did.

I was there but missed meeting up with the forum group.
I have been to the show 3 times now. Still haven't seen the whole thing but I covered a lot more of it this year.

Best show in the Northeast, IMHO. I make it a point to attend every year. There's something for everyone and no BS about cameras, strollers, membership, etc, etc, etc.

Had a great time at the Big E. Got the absolutely MOST GORGEOUS handcar I’ve ever seen from Sean with 2 M&M’s on it. They looked good enough to eat. But I'm having too much fun watching them run back and forth and bump into the bumpers. So they're safe for now.

But the real question is whether sweaty M&M's will melt in your hands.

Gerry

This year was my second at the Big E, and I had an enjoyable time except for the muddy parking lot. Unfortunately I missed the get together at the OGR both, so I did not meet anyone from the Forum.

I had a chat with the folks at the MTH booth about the length of time it takes for service. Apparently the MTH Service Department is backed-up from the Christmas Season, so my LIRR Camelback will not be running the rails for another few months.

Sean, thanks for the M&M hand car, the item #1 on my buy list. Yep for me hands down best all around show. Then again I've never been to York. What is that all about?

Big E is my favorite show. I have been going for almost 20 years. John

Gary, I have to agree with you,the Big E is a lot less money then going to York. York is very expensive. I'm sure that someday you will be able to go. If you wait till you retire, there may not be a York any more.

I've been to York, last time in 2004

Chris,
I thought we weren't going to mention the sale of that car, that was a indiscretion on my part
It was nice talking with everyone else and putting a face to the name.
