Reply to "Amherst train show, West Springfield, Ma Jan 28, 29"

Stayed at Candlewood Suites on Friday night and was there early Saturday morning and found a back entrance to the show which eliminated a lot of the traffic and parking lines. I was out by 1:00 PM, so never made it to the photo-shoot, although I did stop by at Steve's earlier in the day.  Also, stopped by to chat with Al at the Mianne booth, Ryan at Lionel and several others at the show. Missed seeing Miller Engineering and Z-Stuff.

It was definitely packed on Saturday. Couldn't believe the long line to get into the BLC later in the day or the ticket line. Glad I got my bracelet early. I had printed out the vendor list and maps, but then got a nice handout at the show that had both.

Count me in to eliminate the steam whistle; move it; lower the volume; give a warning; etc.

Picked up the WS Electric Substation, chain link fence and wired telephone poles at an excellent price. Also, found a Lionel Maine Central gondola with coal load and a Lionel B&M gondola with containers. Thanks to Gryboski's Trains for coming up with an oversize bag so I could consolidate everything. I'll post pics when I get the chance.

Saw a nice, black 246E pre-war celebration tinplate set in good condition and at a reasonable price, but didn't pull the trigger - still holding out for a command set.
