I read in the newspaper that there is a Train show and sale on January 30th in Wilmington. I am new to this area. Has anyone attended this show? How is it for 3 rail O gauge items?

Hum, guess I'm alone down here. 
I don't know anything about the show. Is it down at the old ACL freight depot where the ACL 4-6-0 is on display? I remember going down there to see the 1976 SCL Bicentennial GE locomotive. My folks retired in Wilmington. Nice town back in the 70's.
I went to this show several years ago and enjoyed it. The show is about 90 miles north of my location so my wife and I made a day of it. The show I attended took about an hour to see all and it was a mixture of O, Ho, and N scale with some dealers also having rr signs and rr books. The Wilmington Railroad museum was close by and worth a visit. They have an HO layout that represents the ACL and SAL railroads in and around Wilmington. The museum also had a collection of 2 rail O scale custom built ACL equipment from the 1950's that was used at state fairs to advertise the ACL. Leon
Thanks, guys. The show is at the American Legion Post which is about 15-20 minutes from the museum. I guess I'll give it a try.
I moved to Southport (across the river from Wilmington) about 4 months ago so I am still finding things. I have been to the museum. It is an interesting collection related to the area.
DANR,
Is the American Legion post on Pine Grove Drive? Do you know when the show opens? I may try to attend.

FYI
The show is Jan 30 and 31 and it begins at 10 am Sat. I found info on www.capefearmodelrailroadsociety.org if anyone else is thinking of going.
