"G-Gauge may not RULE, But it GROWS on YA !! " djc’99

p.s. BadgerAirBrush is back for a second yr. as they indicated by the second day of last yrs. show ! I was pleasantly surprised to see on the exhibitors web page, http://www.supertrain.ca/Exhibitors-2011.html (even though smaller scale) of successful acquisition of booth space by BowserManufacturing a PA, u.s.a. based manufacturer to attend our show even though our show overlaps with a TCA meet in York, PA ! Also of a european-based manufacturer, LokSound ECU LLC, was successful this yr ! Alas AristoCraft (and others ?) “exclusive” Canadian distributor declared a sched’ conflict, so will not attend for the second yr in a row ! Even so I’m sure there will be a few yellow/blue-grey boxes scattered over 3-4 resellers attempting to keep up the interest in Aristocraft (and others) products !! A local vendor (EastRidgeHobbies) did send me a email stating their planned show pricing of their USATrains product line, which I subsequently fwd’d to others on a mailing list. Also recently noticed that “SoundTraxx” is splitting booth space with their “Blackstone …” Division !

p.p.s personally I’m hoping for a combination of cool temps but no snow, for the weekend to ensure a similiar attendance like last yr., of over 10 thou’ !
