The Great Train Show is next weekend in Indianapolis at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Is anyone going, or has gone to this show in the past? Trying to decide if want to go or not.

I have gone in the past and it was an enjoyable show, typical train show. I would give it a shot.

I went to the Louisville KY edition of this event in December
For me it was a total disappointment. I am a n scale guy and I went with the intent on finding some decals primarily and maybe some vehicles or rolling stock.
$10 to park plus $19 to get in with my wife,
It was in one wing of the exposition center.
Decals were not to be found, a good 25% of the room was empty,of the vendors that were there , two had a good selection of n scale
Stuff, there was a large n scale layout that was cool and a few other small ho and o scale layouts
I did buy two classic metal works vehicles at a good price but when figuring in the price of admission I paid more than I could have bought them online. I don't see me going to that show Alain the
The local chapter of nmra  has a show twice a year in Louisville I have attended and is a better show

No information on this show but I've never seen much selection of decals at any show I've been to.  Unless it was a basement dweller vendor thinning or selling his collection and had partial sheets leftover from projects
