Train Show questions

Unread post by ~Z~ »

I haven't been to a train show in quite a few years. I'm planning on selling off what I have in HO equipment....engines, cars, track pieces, transformers, scenery, etc... Does anyone know what a typical price is for a table to rent, along with size of the table itself? I'm thinking of selling at the Riverbend show here in Grand Rapids. Any info on shows would be helpful. Thanks!

Zack,
You will find in Riverbend RR club's site http://www.rmrrc.org/, so you'll have to contact them for reservation the table for you. Probably that it will be cost for $15.00 to $25.00 per table.

Thanks,
Steven

You may also wish to visit one of several train shows this weekend -- two that I know of this Sunday (One at St Albert the Great in Dearborn, the other at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds.) Usually next to the door they have a table that has flyers for upcoming train shows; nine times out of ten, they have table rental information printed on the flyer, complete with telephone number(s) to contact about renting.

Most of the time, the table rentals run between fifteen and thirty dollars; these tables are just regular tables, like you'd see at a church dinner or something similar.

Show Information!

The average train show table is between 4’x6’ or 4’x8’ and the price for one table ranges form as low as $15 to more than $30. I think last year the table price at the Riverbend show was $24, I’m not 100% sure though. :D
