Yes, that sounds right. When I was at Charles Ro earlier this week, they said that the next show they were doing was a G gauge show in Springfield.

My almost-nine-year-old son and I went to the Amherst show and had a great time. He's been to the local Greenberg since he was much younger, but this was his first time to the Big E. As luck had it, he's the right age to start going, we both were ready to go home after about 3.5 hours. He's old enough to be patient while I look through certain vendors stock, but he also has his own developed interests that we check out.

He's at the fun age where he enjoys the playing with his Thomas and Percy sets—then again I do, too—and the postwar and postwar reissues that I've gotten him, but he's also getting really into the detail of my O-scale rolling stock. This is such a wonderful hobby to share with your kid(s).

Matt:

From everything I have heard from CharlesRo over the past few years, they are done doing train shows. That decision was made after Charlie passed away. CharlesRo was always at the York Meets and the Amherst Shows, but they have not attended either the past few years. Did whoever you spoke to indicate that their thinking has recently changed in this regard, or was it your sense that this would be a one-time exception? It would certainly be great if they have decided to return to attending train shows. Thanks.
