Hello everyone. Wanted to know if there is a good amount of G-Scale stuff for sale and layouts at this show. We have maybe 2 or three people in Green Bay. Any thoughts on if it is worth the drive or not. thanks

It is a nice show and surprisingly large but I cannot really recall how much G is for sale. Some for sure. There is usually at least one really nice G scale layout that I can recall just off the main lobby of the expo center. It is a very popular viewing area.

Gundy, I realize it’s now too late, but I usually work this show, and there is a small to moderate amount of large-scale at this show. Of course, it’s heavy on the smaller scales, but there are even large scale displays. It’s a good-size show with plenty of vendors.

THANKS RENE. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TRIP. FOUND AN ARISTO HEAVYWEIGHT MILWAUKEE ROAD DINER TO ROUND OUT MY FALLEN FLAGS TRAIN THAT WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER. I HOPE TO HAVE THE TRAIN UP AND RUNNING SOON, AND WILL POST A VIDEO FOR ALL TO SEE.

I’m glad you went, Gundy. It was sure BUSY there this year!

Rene - that’s because this year they cancelled the annual blizzard!

Dave, isn’t that the truth! I didn’t make it there in 2009 because of the snow.
