The one on the right is Gilbert. the left one is Revell. 4-8-0c is by Prescision Scale.

I was probably there a little later than you, Frank. Jack & co. from the MR Shop were selling off a customer's huge collection there, and I bought two cabeese from them. I got NIB Roundhouse NYC RS-3 kit for $15 (Athearn made but very smooth runners when lubed, and geared lower than Blue Box locos), plus a few junkers for parts at a buck or two apiece. I got a Lionel Husky in Rock Island for $1, and it has no breaks and both horns! 
There were many good deals to be had, but I limited myself to keep the inventory down.
I was surprised that about half the show was railroadiana and literature. Being run by the historical society, I guess there's a larger demand for that than at other shows that are more model-focused.
Frank, that Camelback is gorgeous. How much did she set you back?

* Hi Nelson. I noticed a lot of good prices. With me the brass camelback kept me buying anything else. I got it for $200. Did you see the Athearn trainmasters in CNJ and Reading. The way the boxes are labeled they are factory painted. I didn't know about them. I suspect that they are done by Bev-Bel for Athearn. They were only $20. each. I got one of each and there were 4 left after my purchase.
* About the show there were always a lot of railroad items for sale at that show. Also books and photos. There was no shortage of HO trains. I picked up a large photo of a CNJ I4 2-8-0 camelback for reference in my current kitbash project.
* I am glade you enjoyed it

Frank, I saw some TM's in EL and they were $35, IIRC. The ones in Reading and CNJ must have sold quick. One table was selling nicely custom painted pairs of SD40's -- one powered, one dummy -- for $20. It was a great deal but they weren't in roads I wanted.
I almost sprung for a Hobbytown RS3 in EL colors, but with a home road name for $20. It was nicely done and was in great shape. The lettering started with "BO," so I asked what it stood for. The guy said he was selling it for a friend, and he called his pike the "Badly Operated" something or other.

I thought it might have been bad breath or Body Oder. Went to charlies house helped our a bit and got some cars today. I'll post them in Watz Goin on ! Best 2 are a Athearn metal 50' round roof doubledoor Seaboard in its old box, and a Varney metal box car, the original brass one assembled but not decorated. The rest are some Lionel freights 5 of them, Kroenberg beer, a cox trailer, a Varney B&O hopper that is badly messed up, A old CB&Q FT for parts, and a TM N&W box car also badly weathered for parts.
