The Viginia Train Collectors Association Holiday Train Show! We expect 70+ tables of toy trains and collectibles for sale, PLUS the River City 3-Railers club and their remarkable layouts next door will have an open house included with the train show admission.
Hours are Saturday 9-4, Sunday 9-3.
Admission good for both days is $8.00 for adults, children under 12 free!
Location will be Westchester Commons Mall, 301 Perimeter Drive, Midlothian VA.
(Mind you, I’m being conservative when I say “70-plus” tables. Many exhibitors wait until the last minute before reserving tables. We expected around 70 tables for our Charlottesville show in August and ended up renting 105! Will history repeat itself? I can’t promise anything but you never know.)
We have one coming up in Peru, Indiana on the 29th of Oct from 10-3 at the Miami Co fairgrounds. Easilly accessed, just a mile or two east of highway 31. Hope everybody has fun at the upcoming shows!
And not a single one near me! I was feeling bummed at first, and then I remembered I’m at my spending quotia for the immediate future. Oh well! Hope everybody has a great time once it’s officially “showtime”!
I wished you lived closer too, I’d have loved to see you there! But, it IS a bit of a haul from the Potomac Highlands to Midlothian so I don’t blame you for giving it a pass.
However, we DO have a show in Charlottesville typically in August. We plan on having a C-ville show in 2023 but a date hasn’t been determined yet. C-ville’s a bit closer for you. This years C-ville show was fantastic, it exceeded all our expectations!
I have a hard time leaving without something. I just have a habit of finding interesting things. That said, my favorite treasures are the ‘projects’ that you sometimes can find in boxes and trays under the tables where the cream of the crop is being marketed.
I really do need to hold off though- if things look good for the Springfield MA show in 2023, now’s the time to start saving. You just never know what you’ll find there, the show is massive. You’ll never see it all in one day, probably not even in two.
We also have the NMRA CID division fall show in Danvile Indiana on the 19th of November. That show has grown to 2 large rooms, there will be layouts and our live steam group will have our G scale/gauge 1 protable set up running
