p.s. if similarily like-minded in promoting the Model Railway hobby and wish to also help out at the show, send me a PM for the weblink to volunteer registration, . . . . or if you wish to just share that you are planning to attend but leery about posting in the ‘clear’ to the whole 'net ! sincerely, Doug C
Landing in my inbox last week, from one of the noted G-gauge (manufacturer authorized) dealers the following heads-up;
"Hey everyone… 5 weeks to SuperTrain. We will be located at A10 this year. Drop by and see our new Piko Navigator system. Controls switches, trains, etc… all from one remote device.We have even set up real railroading to demonstrate how this system works. We will have switches on special along with as much track as we can bring. (best price you’ll find - $6.00/foot)We’ve sold the track off our layout for the last 2 years so don’t be disappointed, if you need more, order now and we can bring it with us… Need anything in the way of rolling stock, engines, buildings, let us know by March 14th{friday}and we can bring everything to SuperTrain. . . . "
Yes when they first started, this dealer integrated double trackage around the perimeter of their ‘booth space’ to enable them to show potential and existing G-gauge hobbyists how the product ‘performs’. Since they have exhibited at other shows where there were no Garden railway layouts !
_ “SUPERTRAIN has arranged for extra parking around the Subway Soccer Centre. Look for the “SUPERTRAIN OVERFLOW PARKING” signs. Please respect private property and NO PARKING zones on the streets.”
{this year due to construction of a second bldg, there is a loss of SOME onsite parking}
