I heard rumblings at the York Show that it shrinking and that manufactures/dealers rather go to bigger shows like Amherst, MA, Worlds Greatest Hobby Shows, Rock Mountain TCA Division in CO, and Train Fest in Milwaukee. They said these shows draw 20,000 people compared to 8,000 at York. Do you think this is true?
Yes I think that is true. John

Those numbers are highly misleading, as it's an apples to oranges comparison for some of those Shows. I regularly attend the Amherst Show. While it is terrific, the vast majority of those who attend are HO and N Gauge collectors/operators/dealers. O Gauge collectors/operators/dealers are a small minority at these Shows. That is also the case at World's Greatest Hobby and Greenberg Shows.
