No rental car required.
Check with the people at Roberson. They should be able to put you in contact with the local club that exhibits there every Christmas.

I am here too. I have fallen out of touch with the smaller local shows, so I would like to know again myself!
Roberson usually has a train show in January, but if they held it this year, I certainly missed it.
There have, in the past, been shows at: Roberson, Endicott, Montrose PA, Owego Treadway Inn. There was one in Ithaca {Lansing} last year summer, but if turnout was not good, they weren't going to hold it again.I don't know how the turnout was.
As I said I missed them last year, so I wasn't able to pick up flyers for upcomming ones.
Do a search for something like "Model Train Shows New York" or CNY, or Binghamton, Endicott etc. see what you come up with. Thats how I found Ithaca last year.
FOUND this info: but I'm not sure it's this years, as the 19th is on a thurday:Montrose Train & Toy Show, Nov. 19, 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. Montrose High School. Featuring over 40 dealers, model trains and memorabilia, toys, books and collectibles. Adults $3, under 10 free. 570-278-3471.EDIT: that is 2005's listing, I can't even come up with last years listing yet on searching.
If you find any let us know!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
There is a show coming up at the end of the month in Batavia, NY. I think the date is the 29th.
