Many, many great layouts in the Cincy area. I had four tours and only scratched the surface. Also operated on three. Clinics were pretty good and the train show was great. All together a very good convention, very well run.
Philadelphia next year, Detroit the year after.

That's ...

2006 - Philadelphia, PA
2007 - Detroit, MI
2008 - Anaheim, CA

In case you were wondering. No matter where you live in the USA, one of these conventions ought to be within reasonable travel distance for you.

The one in California is sponsored by the PSR and will no doubt feature tours of the famous San Diego Museum Tehachapi Pass HO layout.
