RE the Albany Show:
I have participated in this show for the last 12 years and always found it was worth the time and effort to sell things there. The attendance varies, but quite often, there have been about 2-5,000 people that attend.
The show has over 400 tables,,give or take about 100 dealers. The tables sell out quickly in most cases. Last year was a bad one with heavy snow the night before which resulted in some dealers not showing up.
If you have not been to this show before, I recommend that you give it try. There is indoor parking avaliable at small price right under the show hall. Elevators are avaliable which takes you to the main floor where the show is.
The show has a mixture of Models, tin-plate, railroadiana, books, slides,timetables,etc.
I plan to sell my slides, back issues of magazines, Alco coffee mugs, used books,etc.
If all goes as planned, I hope to sell copies of R. Steinbrenners Alco book too.
Hope to see you there.
