How is the Muskegon show compared to the Grand Rapids show? I've got this Saturday off and feel like a short road trip.

In my experience, it has always been very small and not even worth the drive from Grand Rapids.

How about the Kzoo one compared to GR?

I haven't been to the Kzoo show since I was a kid but I always remembered it being at least as big as the GR one. Not sure how its been in recent years.

I'll be at the Kalamazoo show, too, to try my hand at selling excess (HO) buildings, none more than $5. Also I'll have some years of "Model Railroader" and will see if they sell.
