In Louisville KY, we are having The GREAT TRAIN SHOW Saturday & Sunday. Nice (I guess), but I won't be able to go, Family Business. I'm luke-warm about these big Commercial Shows. They aren't really set for the TRUE Model Railroader. These Shows are mainly for Mom/Dad, who only think about Model Railroading on Christmas and Jr's birthday. For the dedicated Model Railroader, you can't beat your Local Model Railroad Club's Train Show and Sales We are having a Show in Louisville in March
