There was also a train show at Springfield, MO this weekend. It was held in a room that was aprox 12X30 feet and cost $3 to get in. Once inside it was jam packed with tables with iles about 18 inches wide. The room was way over it's occupancy I would say as it was packed so tight that someone had to leave so you could move foward one space. Once inside I have never seen so much overpriced 1960's used HO equipment and rusty tin plate. One item that I did look at was an Athearn's blue box boxcar that could be had for the low price of $7.99. What a bargain for a $5 kit. Next to me a woman and 12-13 year old son purchased a Tyco 2-6-0 loco with smoke for the low price of $75. The dealer was telling her how Tyco was no longer in business and the loco was a sought after collectors item worth $100 on ebay, but he was happy to sell it cheaper to them because he likes to help people starting out and give them a break. I might of said something, but it was so crowded I was afraid I might not be able to escape if the dealer would decide to kick my ***. After i was finally able to escape the Soylent Green set I went to my LHS and punished myself buy looking at all the items I could of purchased with my $3 that I gave to the traveling band. So maybe you all had a good time in Wisconsin, so all's I have to say is both the Cheifs and Rams won Sunday... I wi***he Eagles all the luck tonite...FRED
