Greenberg Edison Train Show Report

Hi Chris ,

It was good too see you yesterday, It was a  very nice show just like you said it was really packed up until around 2pm.

I was there on Saturday and had a great time. I spent a bunch of time with Alex and while walking around with him came up with his next project for me. Alex is a great guy and does great work.

I spent some time at the HiRailers table with Jim, John, George, Alex's dad and others.

I was also looking for one specific item and was able to find it. So all in all, the show was really enjoyable and a great success for me.

I was there sunday  Plenty of people but hardly any buyers   Didn't see too many people carrying bags  Looks like the last time we get tables at Greenberg

Yes Sat was better then Sun. good to see a lot of forum people , and hung out with K-liner for 2 days .

I was able to make it there on Sunday - finally located some #57 Atlas switch control boxes.  I thought the crowds were light in the morning - loved the roller coaster!

I went Saturday. Enjoyed it very much. It's a  3+ hour drive each direction for me.  Ben, don't give up your table, you guys have me as a customer.  I don't make many shows, but this November show I do always come to.

I have to admit I have stopped going to this show.  I am putting together a layout but I am not a collector.  I used to take my young son and it seemed that every other table was trying to sell him some cheap junk toy. We would always end up leaving a little grumpy, me because I couldn't find useful stuff and I had to keep prying my son away from garbage, and him because I had a dollar limit for garbage spending. 

 What I am always looking for is a non internet source for used track and switches, control stuff, etc.

Thank you for your report.

Thank you for the report.  I personally don't read anything into the rather light attendance: I think this past weekend would have been a less-than-ideal time for a train show, given the holiday, etc., but with their traveling-show schedule they have to put together, they have little choice than to hit some locations at non-optimal weekends. 

I plant to try to catch the Greenberg show in Richmond but the timing there is probably even worse - weekend before Christmas.

I thought it was an average turnout. Saturday always seems to be better than Sunday,but

I did pretty good,and so did BLT, right across from me. If you are a seller or hunting for

something, it can be hit or miss, you just never know. That's why we keep coming out!

Next up is Greenberg at Somerset in Jan. I'll be there!       Mike
