Wow, looks like a great show!
Tyco stuff is rare around these parts...and hey, $1.50 is better than $0.00 
Those wood buildings looked awesome, I woulda bought one of them right off the bat!

Thanks for the video Brain! Columbus, Ohio has some train shows during the winter months. They are usually pretty good. I haven't went for the last 3 years as I have just nearly everything I could ask for. The only two pieces I even think about buying is the AHM Woolworth box car & the Life Like Gas Station kit. I'll get them on Ebay someday... The train shows are definately allot of fun!

Cheez--was lots of fun. There were xtremely good deals also--i just didn't have the funds to purchase. Some items were 50% off from retail vendors. Lots of estate collections for sale by family members also. This show is great for my area. You get a lot of local and mom and pop vendors who have old items.
Walt--glad you enjoyed the video
MM-- You are right--$1.50 is better than 0

Thanks!

| AF --More this year than previous. I sold some Tyco to an older couple who re-sell. They had a lot of red box items i didn't get video as my memory card was full. I did refer them to the site to join and contribute. They were local but travel across the country.
