Pittsburgh area train show Sept 16-17

Nick,

I have a question. How far south of T.R. 22 is this building?

Can't wait, got some more new stuff to show off

Hi Jim,

From the intersection of RT 22 and Rt 48 in Monroeville,  I would guess it's about another 15 miles further South on RT 48 about halfway between the Boston Bridge and Elizabeth Forward High School.   It's on a side street on the right if you're headed South.   Hope you can make it-I'm sure the guys would enjoy seeing you again.

Nick,

Thank you for that information. Let's see what happens.

Here is the link to Court Time's directions page.  The flyer above should have read "Enterprise Street" NOT "Drive."

This is our first show of "train season" and we are all looking forward to it!

What can you tell me about this show. Is it well attended? How man people well be there selling trains? Do they sell food?

Jim- 

From what I remember from last year, the building was a little less than 3/4 full with vendors. The building wasn't too big, and attendance was decent. There might be more this time though. 

They do sell food there, and from my recollection, it was good.

Here is a shot I took during setup from January's show to give an idea of the size -- there were more tables to the left out of range:

I heard they have 170 tables sold. Very nice show. 

Thanks for the information fellows. Hoping to drive down Saturday.

I hope to be able to attend.  Thank you, Nick!

Well, tried to make it but Lovedale rd was closed.  Detour signs did not make any sense so I fired up the old GPS.  Wasn't too familiar with the country out here but I got to see a lot of it.  After about 45 minutes of driving and following the gps I ended up back at the Elizabeth bridge and the gps wanted me to start over again to find Lovedale:>) Headed home instead.  Hope show was good for all those who could make it.

I was there with the Hi-Rail layout. Nice show we all found items to bring home. I had to leave early. But will be there Sunday. 

I was there.  It was my first time to venture into that neck of the woods, but Rt 48 from Mo'ville took me right there.  The Hi-railers layout was great as always, and I enjoyed visiting with the members, many of which are on the Forum!  It was a good show; I saw some things I hadn't before.  Lots from all vintage O gauge and AF, HO and some N.  I was surprised there were lots of die cast vehicles if you are looking for them.  I't a nice facility, and as Machinist pointed out to me, the soft basketball floor is easy on over 60 folks feet! 

The show was fun. Came back with a bunch of stuff I didn't need and don't have the room for.
