C W Burfle posted:Just got an S gauge newsletter email from MTH touting the upcoming York. Seems like a clue to who may have wanted the show to open to the public. Verbage is a bit misleading as one may think the entire show is available unless they drill down to the website.
I'd guess that MTH was one of the "Big Wheels" who wanted the show open to the public. But they could not have been the only one.
To me the question is: Why aren't the other exhibitors in the dealer halls stepping up?
Who would those "other exhibitors in the dealer halls" be that you wonder about concerning why they are not "stepping up" ? Whom are you thinking of? And if you are including the cottage-industry-type of vendor, what is it you are suggesting or expecting they should be doing, specifically? I'm serious. What is it you are expecting vendors , like Mr. Bishop, or Scenic Express, for example, to be doing (and are not?) Is there a "moral obligation" or "group-dynamic" that I am missing here?

P.S. "Why aren't the other exhibitors in the dealer halls..." = generality. Fair? Balanced ? Qualified?
