Went to the show today. Hardly any Tyco--only thing i seen was a mail car set complete for $15.00 in a tattered box and a Canadiana boxcar with typed info on end flap for $3.00. Took some picture and some video of layouts--see below. I picked up a new Walthers 2008 catalog-$9.00-Noch approach bridge-similar to tyco steel truss for a $1.00 and two Ho scale vehicles.
NEW BLMI signal from Old Fort Model trains 37 E Main St Old Fort NC 28762 Phil and Exum (Anyone see these at Timonium Show?) these guys have a large selection of new/ used trains and manufacturers from their collections
That signal set --- there were a bunch of guys out on the benches smoking talking about those at Timonium. A couple ran back in to get some. Don't remember what they said they were going for, but sounded like a good deal for as wired up and ready to run. Looked kinda neat. ~anna -----------------------------------
