A dealer who specialized in Lionel parts, yes. But they certainly had room for more, the upper lobby had open tables and space in it. At least one dealer who does most of the same shows I do was absent, as well as a couple I only saw out here. I am glad to see I was wrong about the dealer I thought...

My understanding is they (GTE) lost one dealer from Utica who had a heart attack while driving to it yesterday or Sat. I think I know who it was however I am hoping I am wrong.

Just learned that the Kingston, NY Train Show has been cancelled again ! I was also told that there would be one in March 2020.
This has not been confirmed, however I was told this by a person who had direct contact with the show chairman.

Their website has yet to be updated too.

FM/ALCO no longer builds new 251 blocks as I recently learned. You might as well forget meeting "Tier" standards of any level due to that alone. The best hope is rebuilding existing blocks which may allow for "grandfathered" emissions standards.
