Amherst Show Coming Soon

Amherst Railway Society's Annual Railroad Hobby Show is one month away and counting. Details are available at: http://www.railroadhobbyshow.com The initial Vendor List is available at: http://www.railroadhobbyshow.com/files/ ... .20.12.pdf
Time to start planning.

Special arrangements have been made to have these follow Otto around the show.

I plan to be there right for opening time to get as much done before the hordes of strollers make their way in. :D

3 more weeks to showtime. Anyone else have plans?

Two weeks to go. Has Otto ordered his anti-stroller missiles yet?

Now is the time to stop practicing personal hygiene and begin a diet of eggs, beans, and carrots. Next week stop with respect and courtesy lol. Gotta be prepared!

I'm planning on being there on Saturday.

I'm planning to go Saturday if the weather is decent. If it isn't, I'll go Sunday unless the weather is awful.

Note that the website for the show has both a list of exhibitors and their locations and a map.

Aside from restaurants or tables you're helping to man, the best places to sit down are at the kids' activity area in Mallory and the bleachers in the Better Living Center (assuming they're there again).

Bleachers in the BLC have been absent for several years. It seemed that supposedly responsible parents were leaving their unattended kids there and the bleacher section became an accident waiting to happen.

One week to go. Hope for good weather and the items you're looking for.

Set-up starts tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. Vendors arrive all day Friday and early Saturday morning. Doors open promptly at 9AM Saturday with the blast of the air horn. Have your shopping list ready and wear comfortable shoes. Hope Otto has his baby stroller repellant.

And I still need to make my shopping list and must-see-booths list. I should probably get on that...

For the record the ticketed attendance for the 2 days was 20,157.

I fail to understand why an EMD build plate from a F3B is worth $565.00 Maybe it's because I don't collect them.

did anyone see if TCS did announce a new sound decoder? Someone posted about it on another site and now that topic is gone. Just wondering if there were any specs on it.
