Great Scale Model and Train Show

I've been to a number of them. Some "O" dealers (many more than years ago), many dealers of "scenic" supplies, and MANY (17 or so) modular layouts. A very worthwhile show unless you are only searching for some "O" items. 

You didn't mention if you were into 3-rail or 2-rail. But being about an hour away, I've attended this show just about every time in the last 3 or 4 years. I go with my HO buddies and plan to go this saturday. The show is largely HO and N scale. But there is a fair amount of O Gauge, so if you're looking for structures (like MTH or Lionel), you will find some. Regarding engines or rolling stock, it will be 99.9% 3-rail (mostly MTH and Lionel). Occasionally a vendor will show up with some Atlas or Pecos River (again mostly 3-rail). But some 2-rail does appear from time to time, often at bargain prices because the "vendor" doesn't know what it's worth and just has an odd piece or two (he's selling mostly HO stuff). So I always manage to find at least one gem and come away happy. Also, S scale is represented. The past few shows had a few vendors with new S scale offerings.

 

Again keep in mind that the show is mostly HO and N. But this is a very large and nice show. And you'll find a lot of general model items like scenery supplies, modeling supplies, tools, books, etc. And the show always has a number of operating layouts in various scales from N to G, which are great to look at to get modeling ideas.

 

There is a food vendor on site, but there are also very close places to eat like Subway and McDonalds.

 

I've been to a number of "Greenberg" shows and this show has much nicer stuff. There are usually national vendors and of couse lots of locals selling off the "don't want's".

3 rail,  Im hoping to find some scratchbuilding stuff as well as detailing parts

Patrick- its a great show and when browsing before you go make up a list of those detail items for O Gauge scenes and buildings you wish to have and will find at a scale show like this one because its a great venue for them as well as new scale kits. Happy Railroading!!!!!-Don Klose

The 4 of us will have a fun day on Sat.I have been to the show and had a nice time .Always find something to bring home.

Pat
Hunter line has scale lumber plus nice  wood bridge kits as do other vendors. Model tech studios has detail parts.  There are a couple of tool guys with all kinds of stuff.

Thats what im hoping to get, some windows,lumber, tools, Hopefully some seminars.

 Isnt that what Martin MWB   does?

Attended this show today.  Picked up Bar Mills' new O-Scale Amos Cutter General Merchandise kit and some new figures from Scenic Express.  Show was very well attended and had quite a few operating layouts in various scales.

 

LOL,

  The same thing happened last year at this time at the Pittsburgh Show. All the cabin fever  leads up to huge attendance i guess.Everyone was overwhelmed at the attendance.Good news for all.

Anyway sorry thought i read before you have  givin a seminar or two.

The one seminar i did see was sticken the blue furnace filter over the stick to make trees. No clowns, ok maybe one.

 

I ended up pickin up a bunch of tichy windows and doors and some "signs of the times" decals.A few 1:48 1930s cars and some scale wood. Nobody had the O scale stringers for steps , was very suprised at that.

 

Met up with a few freinds from  other clubs and met a few new ones. I think i seen your table wmb,if it was the one that had the sign "estate sale", musta missed you, and your right it got picked real quick.
