I would like to attend one of the 2 train shows coming up in MA, it being my 1st. train show. Greenberg’s in Wilmington or New England model train show in Marlborough. Is there anyone from the MA area that has been to either one? Which is the better show?
Thanks, Gene

The Marlboro show is all trains most of which are HO. The Greenberg show is more toys and trains with much more 0 gauge to see. Both shows feature many operating layouts. If you're more into 3 rail the Greenberg show is better. Scale modelers would probably prefer the Marlboro show. RICH
I recommend The Big E in Springfield MA in January.
The Big E has HO, N and O Gauges, and is great for scenery materials, boats, barges, structures and figures, as well as trains IMO.

Thanks Rich. Looking at the Greenberg flyer online seems to be a better show.

Thanks Arnold. I went to the Springfield fair in September and was given a pamphlet from the Amherst Railway Society about the show. I would like to go to that one, especially after talking to one of the club members. It’s just a tough time of year to put on a show knowing how our New England winters can be.
