Train Show this weekend in Virginia Beach

Just want to get the word out about the Tidewater Division NMRA Train Show at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. There will be layouts and displays of almost all scales, plus plenty of vendors. It’s well worth the trip if you can make it!

Think you could scare up a hurricane or something to get the show postponed? Me and my fishing gear are already heading there NEXT weekend!!! (grrrrrrrrrr)

Come to the show and you will have 5 extra days of fishing [swg]!

For those who are interested, here are some photos from the Train Show.

It starts with a big empty space the day before the show opens. The tables and chairs are being unloaded.

We have the vendors and other exhibitors unloaded and setting up first. This is the display for Operation Lifesaver, the grade crossing safety organization.

Starting at 3:00, the modular railroads start setting up. These are the Atlantic Coast S-Gaugers.

The White Elephant Table is being loaded down in this photo. Of course, we sell almost as much off of it before the show starts as after!

Now it is Saturday and show time. We have running layouts in G gauge from the Tidewater Big Train Operators,

O scale from the Tidewater O-Gauge Association,
