What’s this Eddie, are you going weather permitting?
I'm planning on making the trek from Washington DC for this show, first time. The "cover story" is that I'm visiting my sister in Boston! LOL!
Maybe this will be the start of another countdown. T minus 28 days to go to the Big E and counting. LOL

Snow in New England??
Not any more!
Got to go to Arizona for that!
15 minutes from my house. We'll be there no matter what the weather.
I'll be attending my first Big E show this January. I'm really looking forward to it and since I have a 4 hour drive, I really hope it doesn't snow!

I'm closer to Boston, there'll be train vendors there worth the ride? I honestly don't know. Thought it was like a big 4H Fair (shrugs shoulders)

4H really, only the second biggest train show next to York. See above.

This show is the one I enjoy most. If you live in New England and like model trains, it is a "must." I begin to look forward to next year's Big-E Springfield show the moment the current year's show ends.

I can hardly wait. This show has a good mix of everything in all scales from z to real and it’s one of the largest in the country.

Yeah! A "4H fair" exclusive to model railroaders of ALL scales! With 4 buildings of trains and train related items, if you don't like it, your not too interested in the hobby! Even your "buddy" Charlie Ro attends this show Yearly and with some great deals to Boot!
I pre-ordered my two day pass!

I plan to go to the Big E for the 1st time on Sunday, January 27th (I have another commitment that Saturday).
I'm too far away and unfamiliar with the vicinity to organize a Forum get together that Sunday, but if someone is willing to initiate such a get-together on that Sunday afternoon or early evening, I would love to attend. Arnold

But NOT as Many people as this show! Depending on how you look at this show, at some angles, YORK is SECOND to this event- amount of Attendies, types of Scale represented, etc.

Preorder your ticket and GET there EARLY! 
Traffic and parking is a "Big Dance"! .... NOT to mention you have FOUR huge halls to visit!
