Hi Ken. it was a good show for old Gilbert trains, for me. The Erie 0-6-0 set was a good find. And so was the old Gilbert passenger set of 3 cars. There was a traveling all English OO layout at the show. Here are some photos. Maybe you recognize some things.

I got this car - It's got a plastic frame, but it says MANTUA and "MADE IN U.S.A."!
Other than a little wear, it's in great shape.
