Reply to "Allentown Train show"

This was my 30th consecutive Allentown Spring Thaw meet.  I always miss the First Frost meet because I'm hunting, fishing and hiking in West Virginia.    Anyway, There was no question that attendance was heavy and there was a lot of selling going on.  As I have just about everything I can handle I purchased only a few parts and a couple of Marx metal light standards in good working condition.  I did see a lot of good bargains and if i had the room i would have bought more.  Then why go one would ask?  Well I just love looking at trains and being around all the excitement at a train show. 

One observation I'd like to make since I've been going for such a long time.  I did notice a whole crop of new vendors this meet and the absence of some old timers as well.  The fact that the old timers were replaced with new vendors I think is a healthy sign.  Allentown is still a great meet but not in my opinion the best in Pennsylvania.  York still gets my vote by a long shot and I'm looking forward to attending the April meet in the worst way.
