Just wondering who is planning to attend the TCA holiday train show this weekend (December 6 & 7) in Raleigh, NC. It is usually a nice meet with lots of activities for children and lots of trains for sale. The show is located in the Scott building on the state fair grounds and is open to the public both days from 10 to 3. If you do attend, please stop by and say hello.
Happy railroading,
Don

I'll be in Charlotte.....but no time to make it all the way to RAL. Wish I could.....not been to a train show since NOV 2013!!! I will hit the Lionel store.....
Gonna have to skip this one, but planning to go the one in January!
Dave: I hope you will try to make one of the Raleigh shows sometime.
billshoff: I will be set up in the first row to the right after you enter the Scott building entrance. Hope to see you and your grandson there. I have a kid friendly setup.
Andy: sorry you will not be able to make this one. Hope you have a merry Christmas.
Happy railroading,
Don
I will be there.
I will be there on sat. Working the BPCS Hobbies booth with Bill. Stop by and say hi. Charlie
I was there when the doors opened and really enjoyed it. I saw many people I know and spent a good hour looking over the tables and all. Attendance was light but it was still early (one of the reasons for getting there early).
Anyway, my budgeted amount for the show lasted only an hour - I found a number of bargains including two Santa Fe Warbonnet F3 shirts, a nice work caboose, and an old NIB K-Line steamer than had a tender I really wanted - also at a good price.
It was a good meeting.
The TCA show here in Raleigh NC had a good turn out on Saturday Dec. 6. Plenty of Train loving adults and children. Train layouts to see. Plenty of venders to offer train related items. Kids Club for the children. Train races for family fun.
The show is also on Sunday 10a - 3p.
Here is a video of a train race at the Raleigh NC TCA Show.

The Raleigh TCA Show is going on right now til 3pm. Plenty to see and buy. Have fun.
Great show on Saturday. May I suggest that the aisles be widened next time to allow for more traffic? I had hoped to buy a Williams J loco but the only Js there were Lionel and way out of my budget. I enjoyed meeting Don!
The only thing I bought was a Hobo Hotel.
