I just moved down here and I was wondering if there are any Swap meets , I got spoiled living in the Chicago area swap meets , and I would like to find some down this away .
Any help will be appreciated
Try looking in an issue of Model Railroader. They advertise them in the classified section.
First, from a lifelong Georgian, welcome to the South and Georgia in particular!
I am not aware of any swap meets/shows in the southern Metro Atlanta area. There is a good hobby shop though, Riverdale Station located in, surprise, Riverdale.
The best swap meet/railroad show in the metro Atlanta area is the one put on by the local NMRA chapter in March each year. It is now held in the Galleria Center in Cobb County @ I-285 and Hwy 41.
The next best are the ones in January and August put on by, I believe, Gold Spike, at the North Trade Center located near Indian Trail Rd and I-85 in the Gwinnet County area.
The national train show organizations also put on shows too, They are hit or miss on quality depending on what you are looking for. These shows are also located in the north metro area.
Kennesaw Trains and Hobbies in Kennesaw usually has a parking lot swap meet at least once a year. Good deals can be found but it is usually a relatively small affair compared to a train show.
TrainMasters Models in Buford as well as the NMRA chapter hold auctions once or twice each year too.
