Saturday the 26th of February and Sunday the 27th. Odd thing I did notice is that my ticket and their site no longer differentiate scales between the days. I am HO only so I am going to go on Saturday as AF Kid mentions above. That has always been the tradition. HO on Saturdays and all the others on Sunday. Truth be told you can usually find most of the same on either day.

I can not complain as I did not spend more then 12 dollars on any item. The Athearn blue box was a awesome deal most of the cars were $4.50 each. The Silver Streak is for sale also make me a offer.

I went back on Sunday to see if I could get the NJ Transit engine and cars. The engine is an Athearn and the cars are Rivarossi. I never knew Athearn made a NJ Transit engine.
This is the rest of haul #2 I got today while wandering around for a while.

The chrome B&Os where purchased near the mens room in the larger hall from a father and son team that I never saw before. The set also came with 4 more chrome cars but the skirts are broke.
The AB set (which is perfect) and 4 beat up cars cost $65.00. The Chessie is a IHC and it has smoke and is boxed and cost $35.00. It came from the same vendor. $100.00 total for everything.

Today it was quality not quantity. The show was not very good for HO anyway. There was a lot of rolling stock but not many engines or dealers with quality stock.
The NJ Transit F40PH's are the earlier Bachmann Spectrum Hong Kong version With the flashing strobe lights on top of the Cab. All of these have issues witht the decals on one side.
The AHM engines were for parts.
