Since the calendar just flipped to January, who's going?  :)

I'll be there (barring any major snow storm) and have registered for Winterfest too.  Camera will be in tow.  :D

Possibly, I'm self employed and need to see if I can get away from work.

I'll be there. Is there a way to identify other  :ashat: ? Its a whole lot of strangers if I don't know who I'm looking for.

Went for the first time last year, and planned to go this year, however, Im lacking extra spending money.

It was a great show with TOO much to take in. I will be back, but Im not sure when, hopefully 2025.

Yall have fun!

I'll be there on Saturday. I might have a co-worker in tow. I'll be there to:

Beg ESM to make those Conrail office cars available.
Buy a bus or two from ESM.

Ask what the hell Rapido is doing with N-scale.
Beg Rapido to make Boise Budds if the RDCs are successful.

See what is new at Scale Trains.
Beg Scale Trains for a CF-7.
See what ST plans are for the inherited tooling from Exactrail and others.

Ask MTL for information on their newer trucks that they have not made available yet.

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

Can’t sell the buses through ESM, not licensed. Besides, still working on the glass.

The CR 10 is barely a maybe, and a long shot maybe at that, but it would be as a kit and not with the needed OEM parts such as the K&S brass weight, Kato trucks, Kato diaphragm, KVM Sinclair antennas, MTL 1015 coupler parts and the various #00-90 screws. Too much of an endeavor to pursue for a short run low demand item, and I don’t want to be obligated to offer the rest of the OCS consist.

   garethashenden asked, "Is there a way to identify other  :ashat:  ? Its a whole lot of strangers if I don't know who I'm looking for.

Some time ago one of TRW members designed a name tag that can be filled in on your computer.  Go to   http://conrail1285.com/rwgen/.
That said I've never seen one at a show except mine.
