Chantilly, VA train show - August 25-26

[NW Mailing List]

It's just a little over a week and a half away.

The ONLY Chantilly, VA Dulles Expo train show of the year. It is run by the
Greenberg group and should be another good one.

Hours are 10-4 both days and I think admission is $7 with free re-admission
with your hand stamped.

Books and magazines both in and out of print as well as a smattering of
railroad paper and other related railroad stuff.

A number of RR historical societies are often represented which usually
include, the RF&P, C&O and N&W groups if memory holds true from the past.

The usual fare of models should be there -- of all the usual gauges; G, O,
O-27, S, HO, N, z and who knows what else? Parts a plenty should also be
around for the do-it-yourselfer and fixer-upper of their layouts.

Hope to see you there on August 25 or the 26 this time around. There will be
no other Greenberg Northern Virginia train show until around the same time
the following year, as Fredericksburg is not on the agenda for next year.

However, after a lapse of several years, the show at the Prince Georges
Equestrian Center will be back for a repeat performance (again), the first
weekend in MARCH 2012. This used to be a pretty good show when it was held
regularly and didn't get messed up by Winter weather's snows.

Hope to see you in a week and a half at the Dulles Expo Center. Be there.
