Looking For Feedback, "World's Greatest Hobby Show"

Next month the show will be in Long Beach, just wondering if the other shows have been good, bad or indifferent. Anybody got any feelings about them? [tdn] [tup] [sigh]

Hi Doug,

I have always found something I needed at the train shows. Even those that are not too good (less tables than previous years.)

At a recent Toy Train Operating Museum (TTOM) show, I picked up a Lionel SD-9. Unfortunately, when double headed with my GP-9, it makes my Lionel Model 1015 transformer get really hot.

A week later, I found a Lionel LW at the GATS show. This transformer is a real gem. The dial lights up (beatiful) and it only gets warm.

Plus, like this forum, there are a lot of people to talk to. Bill Nunn was at the TTOM show with his G scale micro sized layout. He explained the secrets behind designing tiny layouts.

Maybe it is because I am newly returned to this hobby, but the shows have been worth visiting for me.
