Does anyone know if there will be anyone selling HO European prototype stuff at the W. Springfield show in January?

Oh yea, Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks Jack. I've seen the list. Unfortunately it doesn't help too much when trying to identify what the vendors might have for sale. I was hoping someone might pipe in with "so & so sells Euro stuff" or "yea I'm selling Euro stuff". Thanks though for taking the time to respond. Dave

"Euro stuff" is not very descriptive. What is it you are looking for?

Bachmann has a big range of UK trains in both OO gauge in N scale. MTH offers some European locos in HO scale. Walthers imports many products from European (German) manufacturers.

I know one dealer, David Romea, specializes in European trains. I don't know if he carries new items, but I know he buys and sells used equipment and knows a lot about them.

I saw a list of shops that supposedly specialize in European trains. Time Machine Hobbies in Manchester, CT was listed. They attend the show too. I can't remember, though, what kind of items they usually bring. Might be worth calling them.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I do not know if is of interest or not; Boothbay Railway Village has a donated Hornby HO scale English style steam loco. It's packed now, so I do not have the details, except that it is green. We are at BLC section 15
