(wanted to post in the Events folder, but seems locked).

Amherst Railway Society holds one of the largest train shows in the land
at the end of January in Springfield, Massachusetts. Next show is coming
right up - January 29/30. There will be 4 buildings full of model train displays, layouts,
dioramas and what not; 24,000 people came through the door last year.
New England chapter of ETE had a great Marklin layout, they run workshops
throughout the weekend and we were lucky to be right next to them.
And there were other Marklin dealers there as well.
Here is a forum thread from last year:

This year will be no exception, you can find us and ETE folks in Mallory building,
so come to the show, it is really something else!
