Hello ~!
I'm looking for someone driving to the show this weekend in Wilmington. I live in Cambridge and WOULD LOVE TO GO and split gas and pay for your lunch! I can go anytime Saturday or Sunday. I don't have a car, and the commuter rail doesn't go far enough soooooo I don't think I'll make it unless you call me!

Sincerely, Aaron in Cambridge

Sorry MBTA, but Nells already has a boyfriend, LOL. :P

Hey Nells, did you go yet? I thought about going this year, but someone told me that there isn't that much too see.

Nells,
Thanks for the heads up.

CSX Conductor,
If you went to the show in Springfield, there was no need to go to this show. As I missed the Springfield show, this helped me get my model train show 'fix'.
There were a few good booths, but there were also more than a few non-railroad related booths: toys, action figures, even a doll house booth.

We went on Saturday. The layouts tend not to change, but there are a lot of vendors. I picked up a NS engine for cheap.... well, $40 instead of $74... and a few bits of rolling stock. Oh, and one B&M video.

We figured the rain would scare people off, but the place was packed!

Usually the opposite, especially when dealing with children shows like these are a good inside activity to do and get the kids out of the house for a while. :-)

I guess that makes sence. Also, if mom or dad wants to go to the show, they ARE GOING TO THE SHOW!!
