I will be there. This is the first Greenberg Show in this location.
Not a bad show. There was something there for everyone. Both old and new.
There were 2 HUGE collections of American Flyer S gauge. Both Gilbert and Early Lionel made AF. This one vendor seemed like he had every AF item made from 1945 to 1960 including sealed postwar AF sets. Prices on some stuff were ok. Some postwar was priced through the roof though.
The only thing I bought was a 1990's Lionel Dealer Only Clock, and the rare Lionel NYC Black Heavyweight Passenger cars from the late 90's. Got both the 4 pack from 1997 and the rare 2 pack from 1999 for almost nothing. These were made to go with the first issued Commodore Vanderbilt, however since they are 2 tone black/gray, these cars will look outstanding being pulled by my recently acquired Lionel #18063 BLACK Commodore Vanderbilt which is still sealed. Guess I will have to break the seal now.
Planning on going tomorrow. Is there anything for my son and daughter to do? The post card said that there would be trains for the kids to run. Is that true?

There are very large remote racing cars for kids to run, but I did'nt see trains.
Was there on Sunday with my Dad and son. I thought the venue was nice. I agree it was somewhat cramped. Many vendors had their chairs in the walkways; seemed like the tables were pushed so close to together to maximize space utilization, that vendors mostly couldn't sit behind their tables.
We picked up some small things; I went for a WBB 4-6-0 in Southern livery. Seemed to me that WBB prices from several vendors matched street or ebay prices.
After reading the posts above, I realized that yes, the number of layouts was small, and no O. There were other spaces in the center; a Miss Delaware Fashion even was taking place so there was no shortage of space in the entire center. The overall newness and cleanliness of the place made me wonder how much more vendors had to pay for their tables. I for one hope the event continues at this venue.
