Over "on another network" someone asked about the Railfest Ohio Train Show, scheduled for March 18 and 19, 2023...

Probably a long shot (and this is the closest forum match here), but does anyone have any feedback on this show? One key question is how far you'd drive to attend.

If I were in Buffalo I might make the trip. They don't say how many tables so it's hard to judge just how big it is.

It will be interesting to find out the amount of vendor tables that may be available - a large event such as
this show may have a layout map and list of exhibitors similar to the ARHS Show one month ago...

On a personal note another hobby organization I was once active in hosted an annual convention at this
site some years back - I remembered this location researching show information...MACTRAXX
