| The show today was GREAT!! There were two guys(not vendors) from Ottawa Canada at the show. Lot of vendors. IronPenguin electronics (www.ironpeng.com/ipe)from Brunswick Georgia was there with probably the best Display of specialty lighting and LED lights for HO&N scales. They had a ton of LED light applications and very good prices. They have very cool radio towers with bright LED flashing lights in red or white for n scale but could be used for ho prepainted red and white and made of etched brass. I picked up some CSX t shirts and a pair of HO scale railbox box cars from athearn with different rd #'s with kadees=$10 for both. The guy i bought them from had tons of paired freight cars shrink wrapped on white cardboard for $10-all had kadees installed. Also there were lots of old pictures-literature of every railroad that has existed or in existence.
