I also enjoyed the show.
I was there on Friday, and paid at the door ($45).
Saturday was cheaper at $25 for that day only, but I had a train show in Sacramento I wanted to attend.
I feel I saved enough money on On3 and HOn3 Brass Train purchases to more than cover the door and gas costs.
All the local open layouts were ones I had seen before, so I passed on them this time, but they were a highlight of the show in pass years.
