Hi Everyone,
Has anyone here ever been? It is scheduled for Sept 29th and 30th at the arena, and I was wondering how big it is-is it like the 1000 Islands train show? I have been "needing" to go to a train show, and don't want to wait till November for Syracuse, but Massena is over 2 hours away.

The Massena train show is a little smaller then the 1000 Is.and show. I belong to the Watertown Model Railroad Club that sponsors and runs the 1000 Island show. The club will be at the Massena show.
ChooChoo Bob is right on! Massena is slightly smaller
than Clayton, BUT its still a great show. Many dealers
that do not go to Clayton. Small family oriented
atmosphere and plenty to do and see. Come on
down it is worth the 2 hr drive!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually prefer smaller shows. I am thinking about skipping Syracuse this year(though in reality when the day comes, I will probably change my mind!). I never miss the show in Fulton-and that one is pretty small.
Fulton is a great show also> I usually find many
"Sleepers" at that show. there can be found
many "prizes" that you would not ordinarly
find at the bigger shows. And the prices are always
right!!!!
I can definitely agree that the prices are always right at smaller shows. I missed Clayton this year because we event on vacation,so I am really looking forward to this one! I will be the guy with 5 kids in tow (Probably one in a backpack).
stop by the train board.
"Walker Model Railroad" big guy in the cowboy hat.
we run O and O27 gauge trains.
standard gauge on the floor through 2 tunnels
(the kids love that one). lots of action and fun.
if you have trains that need attention, bring
them with you, fixes are free at the show.
Well, I will be taking you up on that offer! I have an Atlas 4-4-2 that has some problems. We know each other by the way-I am the computer guy that used to be at the place you work-I kept it general in case you don't want your identity revealed.
See you Saturday!
By the way, when does the show open?
Hey Guys,
Could you please post the details for the show, or a link as I can't find anything on the net. I always take the kids camping in that area of New York and we always stop in at the Norwood Hobby Shop. I would like to head across the border for this show if I can get the timings and address etc. Thanks as always.
Jay in Ottawa
