QUOTE: Originally posted by NeO6874 another nearby show (if they still do it) is held at Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum in Dearborne (sp?) Michigan - its an entire weekend and all over the village grounds. what is(was) nice about that one is that the museum/village brought out some of the other pieces they have on display in the roundhouse, to let them run. They also offered a tour of their backshop, and allowed visitors to ride on their handcars and such. It is mostly club layouts, and maybe a few vendors, selling most anything (train related). However, it is more a day to learn about (relive?) railroading history than buyers/sellers (it IS a history museum afterall) - though the (museum) people make it fun, and there are a lot of things to see.
QUOTE: Originally posted by polizi I am not complaining because the shows have old used stuff or even new just the fact there was little HO and I am not going to pay someone 25.00 for a wood box car that isnot even completed or painted I will pay for whats good even if it old or new. I just think these shows could be better I over heard alot of folks talking who were new into the hobby hter and when you walk in the door and the firtst loco you see is like a O or S gauge that is ovewr 500.00 it scares off some potentaly hobbiest.
