I love it when a show opens the door and presents a ticket table.That ticket table gets buried in 10's and 20's by the line. Within a few minutes... they are asking for small bills.When you eyeball a item, dont enjoy the item. Look for stuff that is busted and easy for YOU to fix. It might be truly busted and unfixable. Be very careful to buy items within your repair abilities at the workbench.Some dealers charge MSRP no matter what. Those Bachmann Silver Series log cars are 32 dollars each. It is getting to the point that the same dealer hauls the exact same cars to the show for YEARS and I STILL go through that box with these exact cars. Recognizeable by the flaws on the packaging and some damage to the cars that seem to increase with each show transport.Test your locomotives at the nice train test table with thier various gauges of track. Allow the test man to slap the throttle wide open 100% and slam the engine to the end of the track FAST....Dont participate in competition like engine drag races with children, thier reflexes and nerves are "Cleaner" and much faster than yours. You lose. The last time I participated I still had about 20% throttle left when I crossed the finish line. Possibly I may have let the kid win. Who knows?
