Greenberg's Train Show
Posted by van buren s l on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 2:44 PM
On the weekend of February 26 and 27 there will be a Greenberg's Train Show in my area. Do these shows have anything of interest to anyone whose modeling is exclusively large scale? Although the show is only forty or so miles from my house, it involves driving what may be thirty five of the worst miles in the U.S. Please enlighten me!

The East Coast Large Scale Show is the best show that I have ever visited. Eighty miles from my house on country roads and all anyone could want in a show. Any thing else would be a distant second. I was just wondering whether a visit to the Greenberg show would be worth while or the waste of a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for the reply.

Bob,

The Greenberg Shows usually have some large scale, but the amount can vary from show to show. I suggest emailing Dave Swanson, the owner of Greenberg, about this particular show. That way you won't be out the drive. His email is staff@greenbergshows.com

I can't vouch for Greenberg's shows, but Great American Train Shows in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, have very little to offer in G-scale. There are Garden Railway Societies in both cities that hold their own meets and layout tours separate from the GATS, and Greenberg's may be in a similar situation.
