The weather was clear but on the low 30's with brisk winds, too much for outdoor decorating!. Over 453 dealer tables were set up in two buildings! Over 5000 adults Our Society tables had plenty of information, track plans and vintage pictures for sale or viewing. ©2013 smph50. - Click to Enlarge (10K)-(120K)
attended the show for the two days and many vendors reported a nice return on their tables. Thank You to all who were able to attend and as always, there were plenty of things to see and do for the entire family! We had had four huge modular layouts featuring everything from "N" Scale all the way up to "G" Gauge. Hundreds of tables of model railroading rolling stock, accessories, electronics and books on how to do it made it hard to decide what to buy! Most of our regular vendors were back for a chance to sell their inventory and some of our new dealers had a very successful weekend. Our Society and Heritage Discovery Center tables both reported brisk sales.

        The "Expo Building" was also open with its all weather connecting hallway to a FREE "Kids Play Zone" filled with dealers, Fun City "Train Ride," Thomas© Play Center provided by Niagara Hobby, the Gowanda Model Railroad Club and Flower City TinPlate Trackers.
