OUR NEXT SHOWS
After Allentown. PA on Feb 23/24, we’ll be in Peabody, MA on March 9 for the HUB Division SpringTRAINing show. It will be located at the Holiday Inn on US1 from 9am to 4pm. This year’s Featured Clinician will be Paul Dolkos, nationally-known modeler and author. We’re featuring just HO products here, plus our DCC and Sound displays (due to the time constraints). If you wish us to bring items for pickup (especially in S or O scales), please let us know.

After Peabody it’s off to Greenford, OH for the 21st Annual Midwest Narrow Gauge Show March 22/23. The location will be the same as last year in the former South Range Middle School. Many fine vendors will be here along with the usual spirited hobby conversations.

An addition to our Spring Schedule will take us to the Strasburg, PA O Scale Swap Meet at the fire house on April 6. Hours are 9am to 1pm. We’ll have O Scale Buildings, Arttista Figures, Details plus our new San Juan On3 and On30 offerings. If you have the time come on out to the Pennsylvania Dutch Country — and stop by the Strasburg RR or the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania after the show.
