maxman But I don't care for the 4 hour limit. By the time I BS with people I haven't seen for awhile, I can easily eat into an hour or more. And I like to go through the show more than once. On the other hand, if the number of vendors is less than what they get at the fairgrounds, maybe 4 hours is more than adequate. If some of the forum members go to this show, a first hand report would be appreciated.

Yes, conditions aren't ideal but thats been the case for more than a year now. I did buy tickets and do plan to go.

riogrande5761Yes, but maybe the ticket price is partly due to the venue being different with a different rental rate - add to that fewer people for social distancing and other considerations.
I suspect that you are correct. But I don't care for the 4 hour limit. By the time I BS with people I haven't seen for awhile, I can easily eat into an hour or more. And I like to go through the show more than once.

Living the dream.
I read that you preregister/pay $12.00 per session. For the am. Saturday session, then again for the pm. session then again the same way for the next day Sunday sessions. $48.00 if you can preregister for all four sessions. I think each session is four hours each. I think it will be in Huntvalley at a Hotel/Center, something of the sort.
maxmanWell, $12 per session sounds a little steep
I don't remember what it was before,.....$10? with a coupon, maybe 9. If you went to a restaurant, would you give the waiter a little extra these days? I'll let you know if I go to a restaurant again.

Yes, but maybe the ticket price is partly due to the venue being different with a different rental rate - add to that fewer people for social distancing and other considerations. Not really that bad I guess. Hopefully the show will return to the Timonium Fairgrounds by fall and the price may drop a bit.
I got my first vaccine dose on Mar 10 and the 2nd is scheduled for Mar 31, so I should be fully vaccinated by show time.
Well, $12 per session sounds a little steep, but I would probably have gone anyway except for the fact that I haven't had my second shot yet.
Now that pandemic restrictions are being eased and more and more people are getting vacinated, I have been seeing during the past week or so announcements for train shows being scheduled again. I'm been wanting to get to a show myself being the last one I was able to get to was the WGHS in Chantilly VA in early Feb of last year. I went there as a consolation because I missed the Feb Timonium show by getting the dates mixed up.
One of the shows recently announced is the Great Scale Model Train show that normally is held at the Timonium MD fair grounds. This spring it is now scheduled for Apr 10 and 11 and attendance only by limited advanced ticket sales with two sessions on Sat and two on Sunday.
