Any trains/hobby shows coming up soon?

Been out of the loop for a while and would like to ad to my track Chart and map collection.

There are 3 West Michigan Shows coming up: GR, Kzoo and Muskegon. Info on the GR & Muskegon shows are posted in the Model Railroading forum.

thanks for the heads up.

I'm in the metro Detroit area and GR is just to far of a drive.

Warren, Taylor, Monroe, Redford... A Google search for "Michigan train shows" provides a great list.

Monroe is supposed to be a new show from my understanding.

Didn't see any info on the Taylor one(google). Any one got any info on it?

I don't think it is, unless it's a different Monroe show. Apparently it used to be the third weekend in April, but for some reason they moved it to the last weekend in April...which has always been the weekend of the show in Port Huron. So...on the 28th, you'll have your choice of shows on the east end of the state- Port Huron or Monroe.

FWIW, I believe one of the flyers I saw for Monroe said they have three shows a year now.

There is a good show in Durand during the Durand Railroad Days. It is typically at the Durand Middle School. This year, the show should be on May 19th.

The Monroe show was originally the one at the Lucas County Fairgrounds in Maumee, OH. They moved it to the MBT Expo Center in Monroe, MI about a year or two ago. That one's usually a decent show.
