[GreatLakesRailfan]

Sounds good to me. I'll probably head down that way Sunday morning.

Thanks for the heads-up James.

[Ypsi]

Wanted to go if they had early admission this year but they don't ill be there at 10 on Saturday and the last hour or so on Sunday.

[Proto48Patrick]

I must have missed you Fritz.

I have to say I made out extremely well at this show as compared to others. For the $60 I had in my pocket, I purchased a Walthers HO Scale 4-4-2 Sleeper and 52 seat coach in Santa Fe, a Funaro and Camerlingo Standard Gauge Plymouth, an Athearn Santa Fe VO-1000 #2200, and a Walthers Undec Amtrak Viewliner kit. And I still have a few dollars left over!

I too faired well at this show. Went with a little cash,and left with still a good amount.

Big score was 8 NYC two tone passenger cars by rivarossi for $50 ($6.50 a car ) also got 2 more con-cor NYC cars, one baggage and a sleeper for $25. Next best thing was 2 proto 2000 NYC paint FA2s got $20 a piece. Also got Walters cars NIB DT&I/ CR hi cubes and NYC flexi vans. Good day and deals.

My friend bought a NIB spectrum UP DDA40X for $45

We submitted our table order late this year, so we ended up partially behind the bleachers at the back of the gym.

At this point, we still have a lot of weathered rolling stock, but the only Ann Arbor-specific items remaining are a couple of P2K switchers and some Key brass FA2s. The last RS1 and brass caboose went yesterday.

[BerkshireKid]

What you asking on the switchers Fritz?

[Ypsi]

Went back today, got 3 Amtrak roadrailers with the coupler kit for $30, and a NYC E7 and U boat for $25 for both.

[Buster Manning]

Got 6 cars from Fritz's table

Was a little surprised by how much HO was available; in the past it seemed like these shows predominately had used Lionel stuff and not much else. Not to mention it was nice to be able to walk around without the usual heavy crowds too....

[BnOEngr]

So, Buster, did you make it to Toledo or just overnight it in Saline to come to the show?

I picked up a couple engines, 4 cars, a transfer cab and a book. Got to spend a few minutes talking to Chuck Geletzke about stuff too, amongst others that I ran into.

[Buster Manning]

After surviving without incident the latest version of US-23 demolition derby near Fenton, we actually made down in time to see RMG's man-cave and sample his version of ice tea and make our 5pm reservation (the wifey's plan of stopping to shop some before dinner lost out though ). The Milan crash was all cleaned up by the time we got down there.

The new hockey stadium is soooo much nicer than the old place across the river too.

[fmilhaupt]

What you asking on the switchers Fritz?

We had 'em marked at $75 apiece.

I'm not sure whether they were still there at the end of the show, since I left at noon on Sunday and the other guys closed up at the end of the day.
