I love this particular TCA show, as I am able to find some amazing HO deals usually. Today was no exception, I found one vendor who had the most HO, and his prices were SO good ( how good were they?), I spent 200 alone just with him. 13 engines, some rolling stock and accessories were the bulk of it. Nice DD40 undec, NPR FA-1 in blue and white livery, some custom engines for Monacacy Valley?, orange and sky blue, $10 each, from SW15 to Hustlers to 44 tonners. Some steam engines, including an 0-4-2 switcher. I actually left the show and found a branch of my bank and came back to buy more, just too many good deals this guy had to pass up. Since it is an O-gauge club, most of them are just trying to get rid of whatever HO they have. One guy thought he had gold, he had $10-20 on Tyco boxed cars. Don't think he'll sell any of those.
anyway, a great morning of browing the vendors, I did buy some Lionel and Marx items, a few diecast automobiles, but the bulk went to HO train stuff. VERY pleased with what I got. I'll post a few pics of what I got and save the rest for OTW's.

Some nice finds! I do like the Athearn Lil' monster! Seems as if they all have come from hiding and not so rare!

Good finds for sure! I like those orange and blue switchers. It's always fun to find other peoples' custom jobs
