This Saturday & Sunday there is a steam show at the fairgrounds near Chambersburg, Pa. with a flea market. I understand there will be some train dealers there selling toy trains. No 1;1 that I know of. If you are close enough, might be worth checking out.

Are you talking about the Cumberland Valley Antique Engine show out at Twin Bridges.
Yes.
Jim, as an aside; I wanted to take my dad to the Portersville Steam Show last weekend, but was concerned about the heat. He always enjoyed those shows. Anyway, his personal care home had a family picnic Saturday, and soon after we ate Dad went inside because of the heat. It is hard to see the decline. He worked 38 years out in all kinds of weather as a cable splicer for the phone company, and the heat never bothered him. Hopefully I can get him to the fall show.
Back to the topic at hand, Chambersburg. This is the first I had heard of a steam show there. That's great!!
That show started today. That’ll be nice if a few of them are there because it hasn’t been any in the past. You would maybe find a single car or engine in the flea markets.
