Here is mine.
I went to the fall 2016 TCA Ponchatoula, LA show on November 5, 2016. Ponchatoula is near Hammond, LA and the intersection of I-10 and I-55 and near Baton Rouge and N.O. They had 40, 8-9 foot long tables with some sellers having up to 5 tables. They also had one large S gauge layout, a medium HO and O gauge layouts and 3 smaller layouts. The train meet was well attended and was part of the Ponchatoula Trade Days (about 100 booths of antiques and crafts and food along a rail road track in downtown) held twice a year about 2 blocks from the 1st Baptist Church Gym where the show was.
I had a fair day and purchased a couple of cars (best a Lionel lighted 9541 Railway Express Agency car to go with my newly acquired General 4-4-0) and 24 Lionel fast angle plastic trucks with working couplers and a few free old train magazines and catalogs. I am always needing trucks.
Some of the sellers tables and all the goodies !
Note the Crawfish Tail candy dish on bottom right.
I thought you train guys would like to see some of a Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co. engine
on a side track at the Trade Days Fair.
This picture was early, it was crowded later.
