I went.

I doubt I will go again.

It was sad.

It was  a train AND doll show.

I think there were more dolls than trains!

The Dolls were int eh mansion and filled up the second floor pretty good.

There were only two tables with N scale stuff, and only a handfull with HO stuff. The rest was a lot of Lionel-old Lionel- as in RUSTY only Lionel.

SOme stuff was $5-$10 TYCO toy HO RR cars! {unless someone's a colector of such, I doubt he sold any. Two others dealers had HO Steel track and BRASS track at rather expensive prices!

Only one dealer had a decent selection of HO including $10 Bowser kits, and $12-$25 Athearn RTR RRcars. ANd some other stuff of interest. ANother dealer had, amongst his old rusty Lionel, some KADee HO RR cArs. I realize they may be considered  cream of the crop, but $45 was too rich for my blood.

I went because I live here,but it wasn't packed {with dealers OR customers} like it has been before {haven't been in a few years as I have  missed it}. Doubt I will go again...oh another thing I noticed,,teh local news did NOT do a piece on it this year.

 HO and N Scale.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
