That I go to the model train show in Noblesville, Indiana this weekend! Can you believe that!!! Yup, she’s a keeper![:D]
Anybody else going to a show this weekend? If so, where?
Well, I would say that you wouldn’t be loving her if you ignored this request.
You may want to stop and bring some flowers home to her on your way back.
An EXCELLENT idea!
A truly wise lady, your wife - like mine, she knows there could be many worse places for you to be without this “distraction”.
Next weekend (Feb 4) I’ll be going to the Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium, MD - practically in my backyard!
I’m going to Springfield. Homer, Chief Wiggum, Marge, Waylon Smithers…no, maybe it’s the Springfield in Massachusetts.
So, why does she want you out of the house all day? Hopefully, she hasn’t invited Martha Stuart over to redecorate your train room.
I can hear it…“Get your lazy butt off that couch, get down to the train show and GET US SOME TRAINS.”
See you there, I’ll be wearing a blue backpack.

I don’t think she’s redecorating. We’re moving soon and I’ve been dismantleing the layout for a couple of months now. You can’t even see carpet in there!
All,
I forgot about the Timonium thing. That has it’s own thread, so how about this one is for anyone going to a different show.
why cant there be anygood shows where i live [:(]
flowers?..I thought she wanted a new HO gauge Atlas MAC 90…
Hey pcarrell,
Do you have any other details on the Noblesville show you’re going to? I might be interested in attending. I went to the show at the fair grounds a couple of weeks ago, but I’m always up for another.

Nawww, she doesn’t care for trains, just me.
4H Exhibition Center
Hamilton County Fairgrounds
2003 Pleasant Street, Noblesville, In
10am to 4pm, Sunday, January 29th, Auction 2 to 4 pm
$5 admission, children under 12 free.
The map they give shows it a couple hundred feet west of the intersection of 37 and Pleasant Street, south side of Pleasant Street, between a quarter and half a mile south oif where 32 crosses 37. I’m assuming they mean old 37, not 37A (Allisonville) or I-69/ new37.
The sponsor has a website at:
Never mind Phillip, I found it.

thanks jeffers_mz. I had found the location, but the CID NMRA site has now been bookmarked
I was at that show too. It was pretty good. I got an N scale Kato Mikado new for $80.00. i thought that was worth the price of admission alone.
The show in Noblesville is at the 4H fairgrounds that are right next to the WalMart on SR 37 (Hamilton County 4H Expo Center, 2003 Pleasent Street, Noblesville, IN). It’s Sunday 1/29 only, from 10am to 4pm. Admission is $5.00 and 12 and under is free w/paid adult. There will be a train show and meet with clinics, contests, layouts, and auction. There will also be a KITs program for the kids (they build a free kit and take it home). If you need more info, the flyer I have says to call Tom Cain at 317-475-7834.
No, I don’t have any affiliations with this group, I just have their flyer.
EDIT: you all beat me to it! I was typing it and got sidetracked. I came back and finished typing, posted, and saw that the question had already been answered. You guy’s are on it![8D]
No, not Allisonville. It’s the 37 that breaks off of I69 a few miles south of there in Fishers.
pc,
You’re wife emailed me and told me to tell you to buy whatever you want. [:D]
You got to love it, west to east across the top of the city we have 421, 31, 431, 37A, 37, and 37/69. No wonder people are always asking me for directions at the gas station. I’m guessing the geniuses that planned that are the same ones who “planned” development in Castleton and along north Meridian.
I remember when there was an Esso station on the NW corner of Allisonville and 82nd street, and farms on the other three corners. No mall, no 465, just a quiet country road heading out of town into the really quiet areas.
The scarry thing is, she KNOWS I have cash!
Well obviously you’re a local. Where are you at? I’m in that area too.
And yes, Castleton was planned FOR gridlock, same as I69 was planned to be a parking lot at rush hour all the way up to 116th street.
There is (was maybe) one in Raleigh. I used to go there when I live in Charlotte.
