Shows in italic are not confirmed.
January
Sunday 1/15– Utica – TTCS Utica Train Show, Union Station
Weekend 1/28-1/29 Springfield, MA – Amherst Model RR Club huge show
Sunday 1/29 – Buffalo (Lancaster) – Trainorama, Variety Clubhouse, 6114 Broadway
As in the past I include the Springfield show because so many attend, roughly an hour east of Albany.
February
Sunday 2/5 - Buffalo (Depew) - TTCS Buffalo Snowball Train Show, Polish Falcons
Weekend 2/18-2/19 – Buffalo (Hamburg) – WNYRHS Winter Train & Toy Show, Erie Cty Fairgrounds
Weekend 2/18-2/19 - Rochester - Greenberg's great Train Show, Dome Center
Saturday 2/25 – Rochester – Edgerton Model Railroad Show, Edgerton Community Center
Unfortunately for various reasons you have two weekend shows opposite each other just an hour or so apart. My guess is Hamburg will see more vendors. I want to say I saw a flyer for Edgerton but I don't seem to have one. TTCS confirmed by email to promoter (note it's a full two weeks prior to last year).
March
Saturday 3/11 - Albany - Albany Train Show, Polish Community Center
Saturday 3/11 – Binghamton – Greater Binghamton Regional Train Show
Sunday 3/12 – Syracuse (Camillus) – NHRS Spring Ahead Train Show, Camillus Fire Dept.
Sunday 3/19 - Kingston - Kingston Model Train and Railroad Hobby Show, Murphy Midtown Center
Sunday 3/26 – Batavia – GSME Great Batavia Train Show, Genesee Community College Call Arena
Sunday ? - Rochester - TTCS Shamrock Show - currently none scheduled
The Albany show may not happen at all, promoter indicated the venue had forgotten to schedule them for this year. CNY NRHS I usually get confirmed at the Utica show. Binghamton is booked through 2030 the same weekends each year. Kingston is a late updating group. And the TTCS show has no venue right now, the usual one has closed.
April
Sunday 4/2 – Amsterdam – Alco T&HS Rails Along The Mohawk Show , Riverfront Center
Sunday 4/16– Buffalo (N. Tonawanda) – TTCS Spring Into Summer show, Knights Of Columbus, Erie Ave.
Weekend 4/29-4/30 – Lockport - TTCS/NOME Train Show, Keenan Center
Easter is the 9th this year. I confirmed the two TTCS dates via email to promoter, there are flyers out for Lockport too but I don't have one handy.
May
Weekend 5/6-5/7- Fulton (Volney) - Oswego Valley Railroad Assoc. Spring Show, Volney VFD
I presume this will be the week after Lockport but as yet no info.
If I missed a show, feel free to add to the list, if you can copy the format that would be appreciated, or send me a message. The scope of this list is New York outside of New York City, but neighboring shows within an hour or so of major NY cities can be included.
I have some fall dates confirmed already; Massena, Syracuse, RIT all have their dates set. Some others will have their fall date following the spring show (Batavia, WNY RHS). I'll have a tentative list probably in May and do the actual post in August.
