It’s at the Blair County convention center.
I don’t belong to the sponsoring club either.
Just asking…
Club events, shows, etc Am I allowed to ask if any body is going to the Altoona PA show on Sunday???
Yes, I’ll be there.
I wished. I hear it is a great show.
Well, I was there and I’m glad I was. I came away with a 1952-series Lionel 2032 A-A set in outstanding condition. Plus original box with original inserts, packing paper and instruction manual, all for $140. I’d been looking for one of these for a long time, and finally found it.
The parts vendors’ tables were crowded and busy the whole time. I was looking for some Standard O hoppers for my Reading Fairbanks-Morse to haul, but there seemed to be less Standard O around than there was last time I attended. Lots of Flyer. HO, too, but I’ve been out of HO for a long time. Also some tinplate, and all manner of accessories. By my unofficial estimate, there were more dealers there than last time.
I’ll be back in the fall.
In a couple weeks, we finally have a show that is located between Columbus and Cleveland.

Too bad the show is not on Saturday because then one could lunch on fried chicken and hot apple pie at one the Amish Restaurants. [tup]
I wonder why the Springfield Train Show is not on the Trains.com listing.
Hello all This is my 1st try posting from Blackberry.
It was a good show. I talked with some club members who said it was their biggest ever.
A couple dealers said they were doing well. One complaned he was selling but at low prices
