Maybe hold a York type show in N.Y.C. I am also new to the hobby & don`t want to drive 3 hours- If they would do the same type show in the Javits convention center I`m shure more people would show up & get interested...Also when was the last time anyone saw a television commercial? -You would think Lionel, MTH, & other O guage manufacturers would run a spot pre holiday season- .......

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's a lot more expensive to rent the Javits Convention Center than the York County Fairgrounds. Is there similar free parking (question in jest - I am sure there is not!)?

Driving 3 hours is a really small trip compared to what many do. I drive 2 hours and consider myself a (relative) local.

TV commercials are an absolute huge cost with no guaranteed benefit.
