Looking forward to hearing more. Living in New England this is a welcome announcement.
This is awesome. Heard whispers of it at Amherst but cool to see it officially announced.
That is exciting. I hope to be able to attend. The Amherst Railway Society is very wise to have decided to do a show for the larger scales, especially at a time of the year when the weather is more likely to be favorable than for the January Big Railroad Show. I predict this will become a very important and well-attended show - just as in January. Great news!

Great News hope they get LOTS of Vendors to sign on. Way closer for me than York! Plus Lionel will probably attend since they were just there for the January Show.
I would certainly go. I hope it expands and becomes an annual affair.

Don, you stole my thunder
glad you found it and posted.
I purchased a ticket yesterday, is anyone planning to go? I planned on going to the January show but my son came up from Florida that weekend and I had to cancel. Looking forward to this one.

That's the weekend after York. Sorry, no money left.
I will be attending.
I hope to go. My wife and I attended several ECLSTS in York over the past 10 years, but they started to lose some of the large G scale vendors and replaced them with non-train things like bathroom remodelers and such. It wasn't worth the 5-6 hour drive. But, Springfield is pretty close to us so I hope to go with my wife and son. Thanks for letting us know.
ECLSTS, what does it stand for?
This is great! Missed the show in January because the whole family was sick. Thanks for posting!

Don’t expect this show to be as large as the January show. It’s the first of its kind, hopefully it will be well attended and it grows from there over the years.

I live in central New Hampshire. Any show nearby is worth checking out. Even though it will be smaller the focus will be on larger scales, sounds like a win. Easier to see everything in a few hours vs the whole day, better for the little humans I'll have with me 😊
Can someone define O Scale. I have been to an O Scale show and "3 rail toy trains" were not part of it.
I keep checking the site for a floorplan of vendors but 7 weeks out nothing on the site.
Thanks
Charles Ro Inc will be there and other O and G vendors. One of my club members will have a four table S and some O such as Lionel and MTH. His main sale will be S. If he has a vendor or table map I will pass it on.
Update: no vendor chart or map yet. Show is in one building, the large Young building. Parking fee most likely $5.
To Superwarp1 Hi Gary, This is Bill Park, we met at the Amherst Train Show in January. I have emailed you a few times and I don;t get a response from you so I am not sure you are getting my emails. I wanted you to possibly join our TTOS group, the Empire and Eastern which is mostly capital district guys with others from the Forum. Other guys you may know who come on are Arnold Cribari, Melgar and Don Klose to name a few. My email and phone number are on my profile . Bill
