I got one for anyone in the northern Seattle area:

North Seattle Community College Model Railroad Club (we're just getting started) is holding a small show Friday, March 16th in the NSCC Baxter Student Events Center. We are looking for people who can bring HO and/or N scale layouts to show. The area is SMALL! so not many people will fit. I'll update this post with the approximate dimensions of the Center once I have them (probably Monday).

Thanks for reading!

Did no one read this? Or is there just no one close enough?

i live in NJ, so i might go to some of the ones the other guy mentioned.

when it comes to threads, trainshow threads don't go anywhere because its far to regional. also, people don't usually have comments on it

 

[Jim Krause]

Chaos: I'd love to visit and even display a small layout. Five hundred miles is a bit much for a weekend trip. Incidently, I grew up in Marysville and lived in Edmonds, Kingston, North and South Seattle at various times. Good luck with the show. Jim Krause

GEC: I didn't actually make this thread, but I just thought I'd mention it to see if anyone in the area actually ever came here and was interested.

Jim: Where do you live now? You could stay the whole weekend...lol

Edit:

Just noticed the "location" segment of the avatar zone...*sigh* I'm blind sometimes...

 

[green_elite_cab]

lol, in november i swear i cut off all circulation to my hands. I had a huge bag loaded with amtrak stuff that i didn't even go there to buy. that thing serisously turned my hands purple from holding it.

note to self- limite of only 2 locomotives per show, and 4 passanger cars per bag/ hand.

i think i cam back with 3 or 4 locomotives, 5 passenger cars, a caboose, tank car, some assorted bits and pieces, anda 2006 walthers catalog. the locomotives and the catalog already weaighed a ton together.

 

[hooknlad]

If you (any of you... ) would like your announcement-type posts moved to the Upcoming Events forum (which people do read... ), please let me or any other moderator know. The only thing we ask is that you please not cross-post (i.e. create another post somewhere else).

Also, Ill know if I should get there earlier, I have a feeling that you will find / buy out all the good deals and not afford the rest of us into any great bargains - lol
