ALLENTOWN TRAIN SHOW

[Lionelking313]

With the amount of snow coming to the area, I dont think many people will be out for this one..They are expecting 12-18 inches of snow, heavy winds, and power failures...time will tell

I wish I could attend. But it's a very long drive for me, and the weather isn't exactly cooperating.

Seems like all the good shows are in southeastern Pennsylvania. Anything in central or western Pennsylvania?

Many of us in SE Pennsylvania think the 2 Allentown train shows each year are "the next best show to York". However, 18" of snow is expected by Friday night, so I may miss this one since it's a 1 1/4 hr drive (in good weather) for me.

Steve,

I am fairly new to this as well and will be attending the show, not having a table.  I am hoping to pick up some ideas and maybe some good deals on Lehigh Valley and Reading Railroad coal hoppers.  Most of all, I hope to see some amazing trains while I'm there.  It's about a two hour drive for me from Enid.

  Will you have a table at Tulsa or just going? I've been to the last two shows but just starting my layout.

I have been trying to find others in the area that are into O scale.

I wish I was visiting family back home so I could attend.  I will be attending a train show in Tulsa, OK, next weekend (6-7 Mar).

I'm going to try and convince my wife to join me, otherwise, I'll be there myself! Looking forward to buying some much needed repair parts, and maybe some upgrades...:)
