It was moved to Timonium Maryland Fairgrounds last year do to scheduling problems with York Fairgounds. The vendors and layouts were all set up at Timonium Fairgrounds when they were shut down by Covid restrictions on the day before the show opened. They were not able to have it this year at the Timonium Fairgrounds because of Covid. The secured a smaller venue in Annapolis Maryland and had smaller show this last weekend. The information and videos of the show can be found at www.eclsts.com and www.facebook.com/eclsts
Thank you
Since Timonium appears to be in the I-95 corridor, getting in and out of there could be absolute HECK!
And why a show in Annapolis? I have waited up to an hour just to get across the big bridge. It is often packed bumper to bumper. I stopped going to Annapolis at all because of this.
Do these planners think about any of this stuff in advance?

I’m sure in these difficult times they’re not thinking about your commute. From your post it appears you wouldn’t be happy unless it was within walking distance of your place. Regardless depending on where you are commuting from doesn’t mean you have to cross the big bridge which is actually the bay bridge.
I was in Star hobby in Annapolis last week and noticed a G scale show announcement next door. He mentioned they were hosting a G scale show there, I believe this past weekend. Star has a big presence in G scale and they do many local shows. You may want to contact them for future show dates and locations
Steve, I have driven as much as 5 hours to go to antique gun shows, including the largest one on the planet in Baltimore. But no, I ain't driving across the bridge to Annapolis. :-)
Hope you enjoy the drive.

P.S. Steve, I wasn't talking about the monster Bay Bride, I was talking about the bride across the Severne River, just before you come into Annapolis. You have to cross it if you are coming out from the D.C. area.

They will be there this October. It is at the cow palace, which is pretty huge.

Wear old shoes, it's not called the Cow Palace for nothing! 
I attended several about 4-5 years ago while it was still in York. Then, they struggled to find vendors and started opening it up to things like basement remodelers (technically, they are useful for model railroads I suppose) and other train scales. The decline in quantity and quality of large scale vendors made the trip down there not worthwhile anymore. Pushing the location farther south from me further makes me unlikely to go back.

Good news, but October is a very full model train event month now!
