I was at the event in Concord last night.
Unfortunately (or fortunately for my wallet) I only made one purchase...the Lionel neon clock.
Considering it was an event only for LCCA/LRRC members, the place was very crowded. I cannot imagine how crowded it will be today and tomorrow when it is open to the public.
The majority of merchandise was geared to towards starter-type sets. For anyone interested in getting started with O gauge, they would have been overwhelmed by the choices available. I'm sure it will be a very successful weekend. Lot's of conventional sets, Lionchief sets, and separate-sale Lionchief engines.
I guess I have become more discriminating in my O gauge purchases as I didn't find any engines or rolling stock that I wanted/needed. I didn't find anything that I had on my list. At past shows in Concord I have made substantial purchases. Oh well, I will patiently wait for the next event. And, in the meantime, some of the OGR sponsors will be getting orders from me.
