Our club had a meeting this last Sunday. It was decided that we would hold our first operating session since the china crud started, next month. It was also decided that we would hold our flea market next March as we have for almost 40 years.

This is the Darke Co. Model RR Club in Greenville, Ohio

When I click on the "DATES" for the Timonium show, I get this message that all shows are cancelled.

What am I missing?

Obviously it has changed since I checked it last.

Dang it!

If there really is a big show in May, I would like to attempt a trip.

It's gone now.  Must be they were making plans and MD stepped in and put the kibosh on it.  The dates I posted in an earlier message was from that same page only a day or two ago.

There's still good reason to pay attention to disclaimers about cancellations, etc. Shows are governed by the local health regs and rules in effect at their location, not on people's perceptions that things are again "safe." These can change on short notice, so I'd anticipate the need to be flexible about whether an advertized show will happen for some time to come.

I attended the Titletown Train Show today. It appeared to be well run, everyone was masked, and people were buying. It had the usual vendors and layouts with a couple of newer sellers. Walked the entire show twice in about 3 hours and picked up a few items as well. It was just good to get out and see old friends. Lots of bargains in HO used railroad cars. I'm in On30 and the only vendor selling On30 was priced a bit high for my taste. All things considered it was a good show.
