Yeah!!!! After a weather debacle last year where the show was pretty much deserted and I canceled, it looks like this year will be a GO! No S-N-O-W in the forecast and it looks like mild (to that area) temperatures. I'll be at the Hilton Garden Inn where Winterfest is happening. This should be a big show this year given the weather last year and the two years of cancelations before that due to Covid. Looking forward to this big show once again. Of course I will have my camera with me and I'll have a TON of photos for all you guys who can't make it. I'll post them up to my website once I get back.
I will be there!!! Will also be at Timonium the following weekend.. My GF says I need an intervention...
The event starts tomorrow and goes through the weekend so pictures yet. Don't have a future crystal ball. But like I said in my original post, I'll post them when I get back.
Stop by the Athearn booth in the Mallary building, section 126. I'm there all weekend and we are announcing an all new HO & N scale project, Saturday morning at 10:30 at the booth. Hoping to see some of my fellow TB members.
Mike, Take plenty of photos, I'm sure you will LOL! We decided to "sit this one out". That said, we do plan to attend the Timonium show next week though....

Just got back. AMAZING show after two years (Covid shutdown then crazy snow storm last year). Saturday's attendance was 11,922. They did not announce Sunday's but it's safe to say it was similar or more in my opinion. Came back with almost 200 pictues. I'll weed them down and post on my website in a day or two. There were bargains! Atlas ESU Loksound diesels for $125-$130. Bachmann SC-44 for $225! BLI at 50% off list. Crazy!!!! Be patient, I will have more details. Need to recuperate first.
Enjoyed the show, gathers lots of ideas as I continue to work in my new layout. The Kato big boy looks awesome and I’ll probably pick one up upon its release. Now if only they or BLI would build an AC-9, I’d be in heaven.
