QUOTE: Originally posted by Adelie It depends on the show. Near me, Greenberg's makes their yearly appearance around Thanksgiving. It isn't all "toy train" O (as opposed to real O-scale models), but between the toy train stuff, dolls and junk, you've got to wade through a lot of garbage to find anything.

QUOTE: Originally posted by TA462 The MORON'S at MR thought that they didn't need to include this free and very useful service anymore. They stopped 3 or 4 months ago. I was looking at all the blank space between adds that could be used but they don't care to listen to the little people. I stopped buying MR for this reason, I can look at it for free at the grocery store anyways. MR's website lists all the shows, as if thats suppose to make it OK. MRC lists shows and its a better magazine.
QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley The way I look at it, I'd gladly spend a few bucks for admission to a train show, even if I don't buy anything. It's more entertaining than most movies (Emporer of the North excepted, of course) and more fun than mowing the lawn. Our Greenberg show helps support the Shriners, who do good things for kids and the community, and other shows might support local clubs.
