I was there today. I actually found a few bargains amongst the overpriced junk that was there. I will post pics tomorrow. The show was not crowded when I left at 10AM.

Well normally I do attend and have always liked the show. It is about 1 hour and 45 minutes away for me. Sitting here at the computer I must say I forgot about it. Your timing Hudson is as bad as mine usually is. I always forget until a day or two before. Somewhere I have the flyer. I guess to much going on. it is only 8:10AM. If I am going I have to get up from this chair and do something.
Well Pete I'll be watching. I got a Rivarossi E7, body only NJT for you, if you want it.
See everyone later on.

I got a couple of cars Saturday, but this is the one I'm most proud of! It's in like new condition.
According to Wikipedia, Woolworth went out of business in 1997.

Any idea on who made the Woolworth Car???
That's cool. I have never seen one of those before.
I rarely look for rolling stock when I go to the shows.
