Are train shows getting stale?

<p>Timonium for me will be the best of shows depending on which event is hosted there. Im not sure if I will see another big show there again but it is very good.</p><p>I go to one show a year down at the 819 in Pine Bluff. They tend to be rather same content but each year they have had small improvements overall and made things worth seeing and visiting. The possibility of 819 being finished and steamed up at some point in the unknown future is a big draw for me.</p><p>Now the tables for me hold a few gems among the usual piles of junk. I suppose I make a list and try to find items on that list. Most of the time I do but they are beyond repair or asking too much for pricing. I can and do get better pricing at either Hobby Shop or Ebay.</p><p>Now I do enjoy the show for the people and clubs that come to visit. Never know what a trainshow day holds. Keeping that in mind Im less certain going into such a dangerous city is worth the risk for a day trip of some distance. Particularly if that city has shown little or no improvements in roadways, traffic light patterns and overall neighborhood blight.</p><p>That will probably stop my future visits more than likely.</p><p>The Internet delivers the really big trainshows with the new announcements and participants who upload photos and information firsthand. Those Ive learned to really spend time on the computer and work the shows to milk them for any infomration or pictures of new products a-coming down the track.</p><p>Now THAT's FUN!</p>
