That's right folks. It's that time of the year again for another big train show. So if you didn't get everything you wanted for Christmas... or you didn't make it to the "Big E", why not check out Allentown this Saturday (Feb 22nd) and Sunday (Feb 23rd). Saturday is the big bonus day, because the Farmers Market is open too -- directly across the parking lot. Not to be missed for sure! I'm gonna host what has become my regular U-shaped booth (Tables Z-5, 6,7), which is about two aisles over from the modular layouts. Believe it or not, I'm STILL thinning out my collection and will have all kinds of Mint and Like-New goodies that are sure to tempt you, including Atlas-O rolling stock, Lionel passenger sets, Lionel TMCC F3 ABBA sets, Lionel 57' Mech Reefers, Lionel Flatcars with PUP trailers, MTH E8 locomotive sets, Lionel Corporation Tinplate Standard Gauge passenger sets and ala carte rolling stock, and more. All at unbeatable prices, so you'll still have money left for York!!!! I'm under strict orders not to return back home Sunday evening unless the van is EMPTY!!! The Allentown ATMA train show has a long reputation of being a popular twice-a-year show: First Frost in November, and Spring Thaw in February. And it's a great opportunity to save on shipping costs too. Of course, I'll be wearing my new OGF camo hat and badge holder!!! So stop by and say hello. P.S. If I get a chance, I'll post a few "sneak-preview" goodies over on the OGF for-sale forum in the next day or two. So if you see something that calls your name, let me know. P.P.S. I just double-checked my booth registration materials, and the ATMA folks moved me a few steps to the other end of the Z-rectangle-of-tables. Still a U-shaped booth, now Z-1,2,3 for this show.

This is one show that I’ve always wanted to attend but never seem to be able to fit it in my schedule. I’m definitely going to try to make the November version of this show. Good luck David and Happy hunting to Laz and Pam.

Just another on on my bucket list. Just think now if I attend I'd get to meet all the great folk of the OGF! This show is a 10 and a half hour drive to get to. Good luck with the sales David and happy hunting Laz.

DAVID, Wondering if you know if I can take videos there at the meet? I’d like to get some of the layouts there on video, is there any restrictions?

That's great! Wish I could go. David do you have any Atlas tank cars for sale? or maybe some classic steam era cars? Have fun.

Update on the show. Well attended show again. I didn’t purchase much save a 2 pack of o scale dragsters,DON PURDONE, for 7.50 for both. Had a nice chat with DAVID at his booth. Saturday he did great in the morning then started to fall off. I was going to take a video of the o scale layouts but they were not there. Usually they have a very big modular layout but everything was HO or N scale. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of people there. Went to our favorite bar/restaurant on way home for wings and YUENGS and some great hot subs. Came home and fired up the layout for the GUYZ ran trains for about 2 hrs., NO PILE UPS!!!!!! Great day!

AMEN DAVID. While walking the isles seems like the same stuff in the exact spot where I saw them a year ago with the same price tags on them. Do these people just thing they have to set up just to show there stuff off? While most others have said, I’ll work with you on a price that we both will be happy with. I wasn’t really looking for anything but there were many vendors willing to deal. And that is a good sign.
