 Dave: I attended the GATS in San Diego in early December and was very disappointed by it. In a single word it was "threadbare". About 60 vendors, 20 or so selling railroad associated items. Of the remaining 40 nearly all were selling at retail or above prices for either RTR or shake the box kits. One or two had what might be called 'craftsman' kits, mainly discontinued stock at prices above what you can get them for on the internet. Likely those with contemporary era themed layouts were able to cull something useful from the bargain bin/junk pile loss-leaders some of the sellers had. I wrote it off to 'education' and went home early. I wouldn't attend again. Randy
