Raleigh Train Show Sunday February 16

Hope the weather cooperates. We were 'iced out" of our TCA train meet here in the Memphis area back in December.

My daughter lives in Aberdeen. She lost power today and has gone to a hotel with the grandson tonight.

Good luck with you show.

Woo Hoo! Looking forward to it!

Wow!  With the holidays and then the weather, this sort of snuck up on me without warning.  I lost track of time.  

I will try to be there Sunday.  Always love these meetings.

hope to see you Sunday.

Just got home from it.  I am very grateful for the reminder because I get so caught up in family schedules and work I sometimes overlook the TCA.  

These meetings tend to ebb and flow in size ver time and today's was only about 80% r so as many tables as last time, but the aisles were crowded and I saw many friends there.  

And I bought more than usual: being short of cabeese I found nice ATSF scale side cupola caboose that looks interesting, and I love bobber cabooses and found a lovely PRR one.  Then, almost unbelieveably, someone a whole table of what looked like brand  new power supplies from Bachmann RTR HO sets - 0-17VDC for $2 each.  They are small but one will handle two 'Streets vehices, and I have wanted to find some to separately power each of my small (1-14 ft around) 'Streets loops.

I enjoyed it too. Picked up my first pre-war Lionel and some more Marx 3/16" scale tin

I was there with my 4 year old, he wanted to buy one of everything. Tempered that enthusiasm and left with only one set of NYC passenger cars.

I am getting back into things with my son, pulling out all the "investments" I made in the late 90's and running everything as the toys that they are! I have attended 2 previous shows in Raleigh and didn't buy much, but I noticed a bunch of quality items I really liked this time.
