Hey Gary, I missed being there. The picture looks great.
Sandjam, these are two very different shows. The Big E caters to all gauges and has several displays of prototype railroadiana. In addition - the layouts are everywhere you look and some are just massive. I spend about an hour each show just looking at the various layouts.
There are plenty of ogauge offerings vying for your $. If you get the chance you won't regret attending.
