Hi guys! Joan here from KenRay Models. We'll be there. Any update on hotel accommodations?

I am working on getting the details on hotel accommodations, and promise to let everyone know once I do.

 

It would be great if there was a website or vendor, manufacturers in attendance. This would potentially sway folks into attendance.

The S.

That information will be released shortly. I just need to organize it and post it. A website of sorts is also in the planning stages.

Hi again! Joan from KenRay here. I may have missed it, I've been known to miss things, but is there a cost for vendor tables and electrical hookup? Thanks!

You did not miss anything, so no worries. Vendor tables and setup are both free of cost for this show.

It's getting close to showtime, folks!

If you're planning on attending, it'll be great to see you!

Be sure to stop by the Camden & Amboy Models booth and say hello, participate in a brief questionnaire as to what you would like to see for future C&A products, plus make your own write-in suggestion!
There will also be a fair quantity of some original Camden & Amboy Models products available for sale at their original 1992 prices to help raise the funds to introduce our first brand-new product of the 21st century!

The Camden & Amboy Models company vehicle will also be on site, along with her owner @ChristianJDavis1 who is head of Research & Development for Camden & Amboy Models.


Hope to see you there!

Thank you, Cody, for bringing this thread back up to the front page.

As the show rapidly approaches, I would like to remind everyone that this show encourages running your own models. All of the layouts featured will be available to run on, and both direct DC and Digital DCC engines can be accommodating (layout and space permitting). Help with programming is also available.

Also, as stated previously, a couple vendors and manufacturers will be present with stock and announcements that will both vie for your attention.

To reiterate, this show is meant to bring together our fellow modelers and give them a place to socialize and run trains in an easy-access environment. Thank you to all who have worked to put this show together, as well as to those considering attending the show.

Sincerely,

Christian J. Davis

I myself do not know what each vendor plans on bringing. Only three of the vendors listed are manufacturers, and I do not know what each one plans on bringing with them. I hope I have answered your question, but if I did not, feel free to ask for clarification.

It's getting closer to the weekend, folks!

It's shaping up to be quite a good weekend with plenty of excellent layouts to see and especially to run trains on!

Camden & Amboy Models is preparing to put our best foot forward with our re-entrance into the N-Scale market.
There will be a good stock of some of our past products on hand, both packaged and in bins for you to pick and choose.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

We will also have a display of some of our past products beyond those available for purchase, showcasing a few of our lesser known items as well as some of our more familiar items from when the company was first in operation.

And whether you are familiar with the Camden & Amboy name or this is your first time hearing it, there will be some informational hand-outs on the history of Camden & Amboy Models as well as briefly outlining our goals and plans for the future.
