Amherst Show in Springfield

I plan to be there on both days.

MELGAR

Likely going but these shows are getting expensive.  For wife and I admission is $30 plus parking at $5 plus gas so how much stuff do I have to buy at a good price in order to break even.

I can't wait. Already have my hotel and ticket. This show gets better every year. Has something for everybody. Absolutely worth the money! John

Wife and I have gone to that show for as long as I can remember. This is the first year I'm really not sure if we will go.  The bulk of the show is HO and N scale, and it seems like I always come home thinking I would have just been better spending the day on eBay.

Taking both days off from work already put in for the days off. Just need to order my tickets

Been trying to go the last four years and something always seems to stop me from getting there...will try again.

Definitely going with a couple of train buddies on Saturday, assuming the weather cooperates.

Were going for the 1st time! May be the only time if its predomanitly smaller scales but ought to be interesting.

I plan to go on Saturday of that weekend.  Arnold

If the weather free from a major show storm, I'll be there Saturday and Sunday.   So much to see.   My Son has a N scale layout.   So we spend a lot of time looking at N scale items.    Maybe I'll find some MPC items for myself.

I never missed it but because of all the walking involved (3 buildings) I have not gone in a few years and probably won't in the future, too bad but that's life.

4 buildings........

If the weather is decent, I'll go. If not, I'll stay in Boston. I'm traveling from my home in Washington (DC) for the show. Last year was my first time. Lots of HO and N but I did manage to pick up a beautiful, boxed, Postwar Lionel 2338 I'd been looking for. 

4 buildings...that's a lot of miles

I wont attend this next time.

everyone have a great time.

Leroof.

Will be there both days   Love this show

I particularly like the scenery materials at the Big E.

Last year I bought O scale baseball figures, a boat, and numerous scenery materials there. Arnold

If you are into model railroading , it is a fun day , yes there is 0 gauge trains there , and i have found many trains in 0 that i was looking for ,and some that i have never seen .The operating layouts are fantastic , there are plenty of scenery items to pick up . They even have a live operation steam engine on the grounds for the last three years . I go on a bus trip from taunton ma every year $45.00 for bus  ride in deluxe motor  coach ,ticket are included , and the bus parks next to the door and you are given your tickets in the bus , great time

A friend and I drove down quite a few years ago on a Saturday and (I think) only two buildings but it was so busy, we decided to have lunch at the restaurant on site and go back home. He knew about the restaurant because he had been to a circus on the fairgrounds previously. It was so crowded that we could hardly move and could not get near the tables that might have had something in which we were interested so never again for me because I cannot tolerate crowds.
