I'll be there again wih a table of mostly N-Scale, some HO. Went there for the first time last year, did very well sales-wise both Saturday and Sunday. Good location, easy to find, one nice big building to house the vendors and layouts. Neat to have a train show in this area in the summertime! Berkmeister

It's almost here!. This Saturday 10-4 and Sunday 11-3. This will be our biggest show yet. We're at 100 tables or more. We're happy with the way we're growing each year. Stop by and see our N scale 2 1/2' x 6' layout. We'll also be taking it to the Dayton trainshow at Hara Arena in November. It's built on a 6' folding table. We're at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, 1055 S. Washington St./ U. S. 127 in the Commercial Building. It's the biggest building on the fairgrounds. Stop by and say hello. Admission is still $2 which goes to the Van Wert County Historical Society. Hope to see you there. Plenty of vendors and 5 or 6 operating layouts large and small and food.

I never made it to this show. Any Feedback? I heard there was lots of American Flyer and Lionel. Not much HO. Was this accurate?

[bnsf8000]

There was a good amount of HO good amount of N and there was more Lionel this year. Wayne from Train Central had very good prices on HO engines $169 on MTH SD70Aces he even had the Kato SD90MAC in Indiana RR. I bought a book from him as usual. Always has a nice selection of books. It was another good year for the show. I think maybe The Lionel guy from last year did real well and the word got out on that. Was our biggest show yet. Had a couple of layouts pull out at the last minute because of health concerns. Still had 5 layouts. We were pleased with the show overall.
