Here's the calendar for 2019 for the winter-spring season.
As before, unconfirmed dates in red and are listed based on previous show dates. When they're confirmed I'll add additional posts to indicate so. I am a little surprised on a few of them they don't have info out, but the websites seem to be the last thing to get changed.

Sunday 1/13 - Buffalo (West Seneca) - TCA Toy Train Show, Ismalia Shriners Temple
Sunday 1/20 – Utica – TTCS 38th annual Utica Train Show, Union Station

Weekend 3/23-3/24 - Webster - W.A.S.P.S./FCTT Train Show (believe this is correct per FCTT flyer)
Sunday 3/31 - Batavia – GSME Great Batavia Train Show, Genesee Community College
April:
Sunday 4/7– Buffalo (N. Tonowanda) – TTCS Spring Into Summer show, Knights Of Columbus
Sunday 4/7 – Amsterdam – Alco T&HS Rails Along The Mohawk show, Riverfront Center
Weekend 4/27-4/28 – Lockport – TTCS/NOME Lockport Train Show, Keenan Center
Notes:
TTCS dates, Eastwood, Greenberg, Batavia verified by their website, WNYRHS by show contract, Trainorama, Amsterdam by flyer. WASPS date I picked up from a FCTT flyer but do not have it in front of me. TCA dates also per flyers.
Albany Show page not yet updated; Binghamton not yet updated; Kingston/Fishkill people have not updated their website since the spring. Normally the Albany Polish Home show is the same day as Binghamton, but the last time March had five weekends in it they moved it a week to avoid a conflict with Greenberg in Edison, NJ, as the promoters do that show. I listed it this year accordingly, as Edison is the 9th-10th.
I intend to do about eight of these shows. Maybe that Albany show too if it ends up the 16th.
It's interesting that each major market has it's own circle of vendors, some only do shows close to home, some will go up to about the same distance I do, 150-200 miles, and a few particularly with Greenberg will come a long ways in for events, from other states. So you never know what you'll find someone selling. Amsterdam last year had vendors from Massachusetts and down towards NYC in for one last event before summer.
