WOW!! What an exciting day! My beautiful wife and I went to the train show in Lynchburg, Va last Saturday. That was our first train show. We frove over on Friday evening, and got back Saturday.
The announcer said that at noon, there were already more visitors than what they had for the whole show, last year. (This an annual show that just runs for one day.)
There were vendors everywhere! They had a nice N gauge layout operating just inside the door. My wife took a lot of photos of it.
I mostly just oohd and aahd. We bought a lot of really neato stuff, incuding some old paper textures that went back to the early 1960's and further. When we got home, we just sorta put things down, and went to bed.
Yesterday evening, as I was looking at some of the old RR magazines my wife bought, I found an invoice for some model rail stuff that was dated 1939!! I also found some more paper textures that didn't have a date on them, but they were so old, the paper had yellowed and was quite brittle around the edges.
I'm sure I'll discover more "goodies" as I open more bags, later. I'll post them if anyone is interested.
