[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Thom I will be attending my first train show this next weekend here in Cobb County GA. I'd like to know more about what to expect in terms of buying stuff. How much Wheelin' & Dealin' is there? I'd like to pick up a lot of modern era N Scale rolling stock at a good price. Any suggestions? [/quote] I can only speak from my experience up here in Maryland, where we have the Great Scale Train Show in Timonium every 3 months. It is a train-buyers paradise - several acres of vendor tables LOADED with model train stuff of all scales and price ranges. An unsuspecting modeler could easily rack up a huge amount of credit-card debt during one of these events![:D][:D] A lot depends on who is organizing the train show, how many vendors plan to be there, and how well-publicized it is. I've gone to some [non-GATS] shows in my area that were like Wal-Mart versions of a typical 'generic' hobby store (not just trains, but also planes, RC cars, etc.) - disappointing. HINT: Look at the list of VENDORS who plan to be there before you go!
