If this is your first time, bring lots of money!  :D  Wear comfortable shoes.  I hope you are staying overnight as it's pretty much impossible to cover all 4 buildings in a day.  The show claims over 8 acres of stuff!   :o

I will be there for the entire show and will be hanging around the Northeast Region T-Trak layout in the Young building (spot #98).  I'll also be participating in Winterfest.

We go down to NC a lot as our son goes to college in Winston-Salem.  I-81, very scenic!

Stop by 98 and say hello.

This will be year 39 for me (missed the year my daughter was born the day before the show.)
Swing by the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum booth Sunday afternoon 1-3 & say hi (the only time I'll stationary at the show)

Some big lifestyle changes might occur for me soon, on top of a mystery foot injury. So, sitting out this year, everyone still going, have a great time.

If it doesn’t, the local municipalities are outstanding in moving snow regardless of the total amount or inch-accumulation-rate. If you’re already in the area, moving from a hotel to the exposition grounds will not be an issue.

Dress warm regardless. Usually it’s in the teens with the winds blowing.

I'll be there for the first time Looking forward to it. It's been on my bucket list but was always concerned about traveling at this time of year so my GF convinced me to take Amtrak from Cleveland and take her with me.

Don't forget to wear your TRW name tag which you can print at: http://conrail1285.com/rwgen/  so I can put a name with a face and you can too.

My son and I took Amtrak (The Vermonter) to Springfiield last year for the RPM meet. It's the way to go for sure. For the show though, we are driving up. :|
