Well Sunday was a completely different animal, you could have held a football game in the parking lot if it wasn't raining. Never have I parked that close to the entrance. I guess everyone who went on Saturday wanted to be home early for their Oscars party. Anyway, I found a few vendors missing, in particular the small booth in the first hall that had a wall of gargraves track and assorted spare parts for GG. One of the reasons I went. I picked up some backdrops from the tools booth in that alcove, the owner seemed like a really nice guy. Picked up screws from Trainworx, and a couple of 2 rail cars for my very small switching layout. This vendor was also an extremely nice individual, a wealth of knowledge he was willing to share. I still came away with the thought that prices for older lionel items are still falling. Same for HO, the 10 pound box of track for $10 was especially telling. Still the best show for us non TCA members.
Kudos to the Lehigh Valley High Railers, they insert some variety to their layout that takes away from the racetrack appearance. That trolley scene sure did stimulate some ideas for me. Also you have to love the train races, drama, the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and fun for the kids.
