Hey guys, Well, I went to the GATS Arlington, TX show this morning. And after paying 5 dollars for parking, then 6 dollars for admission (had the dollar off coupon), I spent a total of an hour and a half in the show. I think I saw about 4 dealers TOTAL (YES 4!) that had new HO cars, loco's etc. There was 1 modular HO and 1 N layout. The rest was basically junk, with a few other dealers in the larger scales. Many of the prices were no better than many of the LHS's in the area that I have visited. Very few RTR cars, mostly old athearn blue box, and Bachman(!)... It was very very sparce.....extremely disapointed. I am thinking this will be my only and last GATS show I attend! I guess I can wrap this up as a learning experience. I did find a car, so I guess it wasnt all for not, however, I dont think this justifies paying 11 dollars to get in to buy it......Oh well, Im boycotting GATS from now on with their misleading advertising (100's of tables, etc) Yes, there were probably 100 tables set up, with each dealer taking 5 or 6! If anyone is considering going, dont! Take care, Dave
