I'm impressed they were still able to fit ornaments and lights on. It must be a fairly large tree. Super cool.

For the longest time the Toy fair was held at 23rd st and Hifth ave

In two buildings between a bridge on the ninth floor

As the new Century began the buildings were sold One is now a condo

The Gilbert Building last time I was there is still a showroom and it sells collectable glass

What it is now? could not tell you

It is now at Javitz Center as well as a few showrooms acttered in the city

FINALLY A Subway Station was added called Hudson Yards

Has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG escalator took a Minute Twenty seconds
a lost hat











more to come

Great little tour there j. I'm pretty ignorant of what goes on "back east". That escalator was pretty impressive.

What were those trains on the plastic track by the bachmann pictures? Noticed that the rear trucks of the locomotives are freight car trucks lol. The same on the passenger cars.

They appear to be either push-along or battery-powered trains that recycle old body shell toolings.

They are Battery Powered HO sets uses two AA batteries

The set comes with track trees and plathorm I believe they can run on any HO track


Also Bachmanm now lets you run your train from your Apple device and I believe tablet or Droid
