Most if not all of our old K&K stock is long gone, so I don't expect to have anything at the show.  I am thinking of bringing one of my prized K&K possessions, a Lionel poster proclaiming "store opening soon!".

 

We are going to be doing store inventory soon, so I will know more when I am ready to load the truck.

I was a customer of theirs before the owner, address, & name change! It used to be The Goodie Shoppe.

.......on Sunset Ave.  I fondly remember that place.  It was the first REAL hobby shop I ever visited.  Trains stuffed from floor to ceiling!

Really?  Do a quick google search and you will find they have a facebook page with lots of pictures and additional information.

 

I don't recall there being any charge for parking, however it's been several years since I was last there.

 

How long will it take for you to see the show?  I guess it depends on how long you take browsing the items on each sales table!  Personally, I could spend an hour at this show easily.

 

Hope this helps.

If I was going to attend, you would have to fly to Chicago, then it would be a full days drive there, a second day to attend the show, then a third day to drive back home to the Chicago area, where you would then have to fly back to your home.

 

THus, I will NOT be attending a show in New York State.

 

Besides, Using MapQuest on your computer is really quite simple. I figured that if you were able to locate these OGR Forums, you could also use MapQuest. Once somebody told me about it, I use it for directions for either my wife or myself, as it is really handy for us old retired folks.

Worth it for who? Certainly NOT for me. We have a VERY large "Train Show/Swap" 11 out of 12 months, here in the Chicago area (DuPage County Fair Grounds), generally the second Sunday of the month.  Then there is the Annual O-Scale March Meet (Saturday AND Sunday), which many consider the BEST O-Scale "meet" in the nation, with attendees from Europe and Australia! 

The Amtrak schedule is perfect for those in Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse who want to take the train to this show. Board around 7AM in Buffalo or 8AM in Rochester and arrive at the Utica station around 11. Return trip leaves Utica around 3PM and gets back to Rochester around 5PM. Much more relaxing than driving especially in winter weather.
