James,
Was planning to go to the NMRA meet next month in Plant City, but, probably won't go to that either. Since I'm not working yet don't have xtra money to spend. I used my stimulus check to pay off my credit card bill for my vacation in May.

Well I just got back from the show!

I bought a few things:

4 packs of flat back Proto 33" wheel sets @ $6.50

1 Digitrax UR91 @120.00

1 Tropicana refrigerator car @ 7.00


Not bad...it wasnt the best show for HO but if you were an N gauge guy you would have been in "heaven". O gauge and some G gauge were plenty but like I said HO was lacking. They also had a lot of kid stuff ya know wood toy trains and the like.

Still a good day to get out though.

Alco out!

James,
The last 3 shows I went to before the season was out was mostly N scale.
Plant City in March was real slow because the only dealers were Hobby Shops.
No one was selling their collections. The next show is in Ft.Myers in Nov. the weekend after Thanksgiving. I always try to make that 1. That's where I've got some real good buys on Engines. Although I did real good in Bradenton last Dec. I missed their show in Feb. that they always had. It left to much of a gap between Bradenton & Plant City show. You're in the Sarasota club, remind them about that. LOL
