World's Greatest Hobby On Tour Train Show
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 5, 2005 2:29 PM
Has anyone been to the World's Greatest Hobby On Tour Train Show? There is going to be one in Long Beach, CA in a couple of weeks. It's about an 1 1/2 drive each way for me, so if it's not worth going to, I'd rather not make the drive.

I'm looking for good practical clinics, and real bargins on new trains and accessories.

Thanks,
Craig

Stay home, if you are looking for good bargains on trains. You won't find much at the WGH Show as there will be very little if any "train vendors" at the show. In fact in some of their commercial advertising they added that there would be "No Garage Dealers" at their shows.
That's the way it was at the WGH show in Edison NJ. The show was not really a "train meet" or "train show" with table after table of trains or model railroading for sale. It was more of an educational, get acquainted show about the hobby of Model Railroading. But I really don't want to discourage anyone from attending, so here's a link to their site.
