We enjoyed the show Saturday. Bought some lightbulbs and knurled knobs from Jerry at OGaugeTrainParts.com table - they had a wide variety of parts. And bought another block signal - it fit in the suitcase for the flight back to Missouri.
I went Sunday. Crowd was light. I Bought a switcher, talked to some of the club members. Nice to see a couple of out of towners enjoyed the show.
I believe I saw @Vernon Barry sitting at the O Gauge Train Parts booth on Sunday. I saw his Yok name tag as he was conversing with someone else. Not wanting to interrupt I figured I would swing back to introduce myself but I never did see him again. At train shows you have to pull the trigger when you see it or it may be gone, even with people I guess.
Agreed. Saw a couple of 022 switches on Sat, and wanted to go back Sun, and didn't make it. Oh well maybe the next time?
Nice to have a train show in my backyard. It was a real treat. Lots of trains and layouts. It was my first time seeing operating Z scale, glad I have had cataract surgery.
My only purchase was a box of old O scale 2 rail box cars and express reefers.

Always appreciate those folks who set up layouts at shows. That's a whole lot of time and effort that they put in to transport them, set them up, do the show, then tear them down and transport them again.
Went to the show both Saturday and Sunday, picked up some buildings and other accessories. Thought the prices were very reasonable. The modular HO layout is quite impressive, also enjoyed the Grand Strand Model Railroad Club Christmas layout which I don’t get to see very often. A few pictures attached. Many thanks to the Grand Strand Model Railroad Club for putting this on.

I was there Saturday morning when they first opened. I talked with a few people that I knewand picked up a few things.It was nice to have a show only 12 miles from home. Still the shows here are not like being up north. Here shows are Few and far between. The nice part about following this thread is I’m surprised some of you live so close. It’s been hard to find O gauge people around here.
