Indy O scale National Convention

I'm going.  First time.  Can't wait.

There's another thread with information somewhere on this forum.

Hey Ogaugeguy...

I have never been to the York show, but I can tell you this...The venue this show is being held at is just a medium size old airport hotel conference center.  The way you guys talk about York...I doubt you will see any comparison.  I have to say I am looking forward to it though...it's an 1/2 hour from my front door.

"The way you guys talk about York...I doubt you will see any comparison."

There is only one York Meet. Nothing else out there comes close.

You folks might want to be aware that the show/meet in question is, and has always been, a 2-Rail SCALE event. Thus, there will be very little, if any, 3-Rail "toy train" items there.

Please read the Indy O scale Show tread. It is not what it is made out to be! ! !

The Chicago show is more of a "National Convention" with with Manufacture Representives. But by all means do go. You may find something.

They also need to increase thier declining attandence and you could help.

This thread was moved-originally posted in "O/027" sub forum last night.

HW makes a valid point I didn't mention either-I assumed the OP was looking for 2 rail stuff, not 3R.  

I attended the Indy show last year and was impressed by the amount of major vendors and importers.  I was able to find several things I needed plus several things I did not know I needed.  Travel effort was well worth it. 

IMO, forget about the negativity,  the show name and convertible 3 rail.  There's more 2 rail there than most of us could handle.  Go and have some fun.  Bunch of great folks.

Decent rooms, free close parking and several nice restaurants in the area.  tt

Tom:

Who were all the representative? Key Representative only major one I saw.

I recommend "Indy's" restaurant, located a block away from the show (Lynnhurst & Executive DR).  I'm local and it's good 'lunch' food.  Not expensive either.  

A lot of auto racing history in the decor, hence the name!

Yes.  I could have bought twice as much as I did but managed to exercise some restraint....
