I don't have any specific plans, if I find things like track (I picked up some Ross track used last show, was a pretty good deal) I'll likely buy it, or basically something that catches my eye. Ended up buying a standard gauge engine at one show, and a caboose in another for display wasn't planning on.
Since I don't take vacations per se (never really got in the habit, I mean a formal vacation), it is a kind of mini vacation for me, and I get to meet and talk to people which is always fun. Only place I know where a guy selling can tell me the story about how he put together a 'dream set' that Lionel announced, never produced, and he did it and could listen to it for like 30 minutes and enjoy it. My only regret is hearing the standard gauge layout won't be there, I think if I looked at that for another show or two might end up in Standard gauge
. The quaker state and lube is always fun; I always wanted to try the breakfast but would mean leaving my house at like 4am, not that much of a morning person
I even find enjoyable seeing the people selling things for ridiculous prices (that even I know are ridiculous!). Used to bother me,now I just laugh.
