Any reports from Cal-Stewart meet
Posted by okiechoochoo on Sunday, November 13, 2005 4:14 PM
Anyone attend the Cal Stewart meet this weekend. It used to be a very large and active show although in recent years I have heard is is dwindling. How about it, anyone attend and have a report on attendence or sales, good or bad.
Thanks

All Lionel all the time.

I had hoped to go but it would have cost at least $100. That's before buying any train stuff

I have gone to Cal Stewart for the past five years. The only change I saw this year was the absense of K-Line and MTH. The crowd seemed about the same as in past years.

I dropped several hundred dollars on a Lionel prewar 262E and freight cars.

I wi***hat TTOS would extend the public hours to include Saturday. Currently, the meet is open to the public on Sunday from 10:00 to 2:00. However, the vendors begin leaving early, and by noon, the vendor exodus is in full force.
