Showtime: 2016 Railroad Hobby Show Preview

On my way to the Young Building...

By the time you are reading this, I will be all packed up and on my way to the Eastern States Exposition for the show.  Setup starts today and continues tomorrow in preparation for when the show opens to the public on Saturday morning.  It is a lot of work for the 450+ vendors and exhibitors to have everything ready by the time the show opens and it is always a bit hectic.  Fortunately, our club is allowed in early which takes off some of the pressure during setup.

Just a few reminders, the show will be open this Saturday and Sunday, January 30 and 31, 2016. On Saturday, doors will be open from 9 am to 5 pm.  On Sunday, the show will be open from 10 am to 5 pm.  The Tribute to Springfield layout will be on display at Section 85 in the Young Building along with the HO and G scale layouts from the Mohegan Pequot Model Railroad Club.  We are right in the center of the building and tough to miss.

As a reminder, below are some links to official show sites if you need up to the minute information.
I hope you make it to the show at some point this weekend and if you stop by the layout, feel free to say hi.  Looking forward to seeing you at the show!
