Looks like you had a fine day there at the show :text-thankyouyellow: for sharing your trip with us.
Do you happen to know the tally of people for the two day show? Has the show only been a one day event or do the organizers switch it up?
The only show that I know of is a HO scale show near Cleveland Ohio I think they still have it, but not sure anymore.

That looks like a spectacular show. Thanks for all the great pictures and descriptions! I'd give my right arm to go to a show like that, but I'm sure I wouldn't escape the show without plunking down a thousand bucks...

Spectacular! I hope all of the vendors were able to turn a decent profit from the two days activity.

Excellent looking show! The only thing similar is a huge train show in Denver a few times a year. Hundreds of tables and layouts galore. No cool car show as part of it though!

Thanks for sharing that!

I know Mel had quite a line up of single seaters on offer.

Dr Fabio - Sorry,I don't know if there is any connection.I missed seeing this car altogether, I'm sorry to say. It could have been hidden behind a crowd of people - or more likely "sensory overload" prevented me seeing it.What with the Museum itself, the sheer number of exhibits at the festival, and the outside gathering of car clubs, you tend to get a bit frazzled(I do,anyway).

racer6583 - I don't know the figure for numbers of visitors. It's been a one-day event until this year.Compared with last year it felt as though there was more room to move around, but all the exhibits seemed quite busy. The several large rooms containing the traders stalls were very crowded;so I hope this means they've done well enough to do it all again next year.

El Secundo - you are absolutely right! You could melt your credit cards in a very short time, without even trying. I took the precaution of leaving mine with a responsible person (the Better Half :lol: )



David.

Looks like a great show. I was especially interested in those George Turner vac formed 1/25 Mini kits. I'm going to have to check those out. :)

Outstanding, thanks sir. Penelope Pitlane Legends look fantastic, and those karts do too.

You could spend a couple paychecks there I am sure :)
