For the first time, I get a chance to go to a REAL train show and not the joke they got going on at the Westchester County Center every year, lol.

I am almost positive that I'll be going in January!

I'm hoping to, if I can score a ride. Since Amtrak eliminated the " Inland Route" trains, I have few options, since I'm reliant on public transportation. I do manage to come away with some good buys when I do go, though.....

Ill be there with the rest of the Jersey Devils. Great show. Now I just need to work on a budget, if one can have such a thing there.

I'll be up there as well. I'm looking for motors to repower Ahtearn locomotives. Of course I'm looking for some new stuff and bargains.

Members of RITMRC will most likely be at the show... but we won't be displaying or anything like that.

I'll be there, but I don't yet know which day. (I can't go for the whole weekend.) I expect to be spending some time helping to staff the Bridge Line Historical Society table. (The BLHS is the active group of Delaware & Hudson fans.) I'll try to bring along some copies of my D&H modeling bibliography, which now is 29 pages long.

I haven't missed this show since the late 80s. Over a decade as a regular attendee, the last five years as a vendor. That cuts down on the shopping somewhat, but it's still the best buying opportunity of the year.
