Where do you suggest I start looking for this at Allentown show?

The prefix 20 is used by MTH to signify a premier engine. They use the prefix 30 for Railking.

Basically, you should just take a "1st cut" walk through the aisles, trying to see an aisle or 2 away each time and look for purple or yellow boxes (I don't have any idea if it's really RK (yellow boxes) or Premier (purple boxes)for this item).

Thank you, I stand cotrrected it is a Premier locomotive. (corrections made.)

Where at the show do you suggest I start searching first to have the best chance of snagging it there? Any special booths or dealers likely lo carry an item such as this? Your advice, suggestions and opinions are most welcome.

Thanks,

Kenn

well lets see...

 

as you enter the hall and go through the daoors, stay to your right. that's Beth of Public delivery track.

 

If not there then go into the next hall

In front you should see the OGR booth.

two isles over on the right is trains & things.

IF not there then follow the outer walls on the right and then work your way in and out of each isle.

 

After passing the OGR booth again with no luck, go back to the previous hall and zig zag through those isles.

 

I hope this helps.

 

I'm not sure how much time you have to spend at Allentown. The show is small enough that you can see most ot the tables in a few hours. Also large enough that there is a good chance you will find what your looking for.

 

I simply ask for the item at the tables that display items similar to what you specifically want. Don't be shy.  Often if a vendor does not have it they can point you to a booth that may have it. I find the Allentown dealers to be very friendly and helpful. It is my favorite show next to York.

 

Gryzboski Trains is carrying more and more MTH items of late.  I would definetly check with them. They are also doing a show in Pittsburg the same week end as Allentown so I would imagine they will not have as much on display as they did at York.

I have what might be an odd request.  I am 3 days post-op from my knee surgery and can't get to this meet.  If someone comes across 1 or more of the K-Line K-010503 Globe Steet Lamps, could you shoot me an e-mail with the contact info of the seller?

 

I am looking to buy at least 3 of these.

 

Many thanks,

 

George

The Lancaster area dealers all stocked up on any Strasburg items whenever they come out. Try them on line too.
