I enjoy going to train shows for a variety of reasons. But I think you need to go with certain realities in mind: GATS/Greenberg, and similar: primarily for commercial dealers, I go looking for things I cannot find anywhere else, do not expect to find any "deals" (sometimes I do, however); locally sponsored shows: people trying to thin out collections, sell collections, etc.: not much new, expect varioius levels of quality, many sellers will "deal" (attended a local show last Saturday, an acquaintance bought 4 Genesis F-units for $50 each!). This approach has worked for me for almost 20 years!
