Hey guys!
Just want to let you all know about the biggest train show on the east coast! It boasts around 50,000 in attendance! It is the big E train show, run by the Amherst railway society. The coolest thing about this train show is that it has a U16 layout building contest! I will be going there to compete, and to check out the displays. You guys should come too!

SO remember, January 26th and 27th are the days of one BIG model train show!
Sounds awesome! I would go, it's just getting there would be a problem. :( If i had a car then i would defiantly go! plus it would be nice to get a change from Philadelphia scenery. ;)
We've all got our issues why we can't go, like me, I'm in Oz! :(
