Well being in SW OK, there are no shows around here close by, the closest shows are in OKC (2-2.5 hrs away) and next weekend is rather one of the best shows in the Big Show listing, the OKC Train Show sponcered by local clubs and orgs at the State Fair Grounds. They do have two smaller shows at Rose State College (Mar/Sep) which are rather nice for the small show. There are a few in the DFW area (3.0-4.0 hrs away) worth going to, Jan is the Plano TX show and home/club layout open house tours, same happens in Nov in FTW show, that is all sponcered by local clubs and other individuals. Remember most shows have a test track, it is there for a reason, if someone won't let you test what they are selling, well onward you go in your search. I know folks who do the "Shop and Go" and never really take in any other things that are offered by the shows, yes I agree that the days of the shows are to the point, give a good deal at the show or if not it becomes the Touch and Feel game, and get back home and buy it on the net... business is business as wheelin and dealin is just that. Most of all carry a good carrying sack with you, sometimes it comes home full, sometimes it comes home rather thinned out. The Differance between a good show and a bad show is... did you get what you want at what you wanted to pay, that has played out to if the show survives or not for next year. Did you meet folks that you know from another club, or email lists you are on to do a eye to eye chat, and or set up a lunchoen at a local resturant to have time of chatting, maybe even a slide/video show afterwards at a local RR museum.
