We went today got there about 12:00 crowds were starting to thin out so it was good for walking around.
Lots of vintage HO to pick from lots of Penn Line and old Mantua Kits.
Saw a nice Tyco blue box Southern Pacific set A unit Shark and 3 passenger cars boxed with the set box. would have bought it but just did not have the cash.
The kid bought some IHC stuff and some AHM and a Model Power Pennsylvania F7 Metaltrain.

Count me as having gone there (first time for me). I was there Saturday from 9:00 'til 2:30. As an "O" & "HO" guy, I was finding lots of things, though my wallet was keeping me under control.
As for Tyco, I bought a LOT of things I didn't have growing up. No engines - only freight cars. While lots are common, here's what I got: Union 76 tanker(2) Mobil Gas tanker (I can't find this on the Tyco site - the box says its 315F Pine Hill Logging gondola Heinz Reefer Chessie caboose Clementine Gold Mine gondola Western Maryland Flat with pipe load Old Time Combine car Southern Pulpwood car Great Northern Pulpwood car Union Pacific High Cube Western Union Reel car ATSF El Capitan boxcar Seatrain container car Canada Dry box car Gulf 62ft tanker Coca Cola 62ft tanker (2) Exxon 62ft tanker Mobil 62ft tanker Chemical Foam Unit #6 62ft tanker (by Playart ?)
Except for a few of the tankers, I got the rest for $1 - $3 each.
